One of the best holidays I've ever had was the second time my wife and I went to Uruguay. We flew from Santiago and we arrived in Montevideo with no set plans. We stayed in a hostel the first couple of nights exploring the city (eating lots of muzzarella). On the third day we went to the bus station and took a bus to La Paloma, a little seaside village in Rocha. We had been before but only for a couple of days. Also, the first time we went it was carnival so, it had been very crowded.
We spent our days on the beach sunbathing, reading and swimming. The nicest day we had was when we walked 5 kilometres up the coast to another little village called La Pedrera. It was a hot day so we took our time stopping off to swim when it got too hot in the sun. The beach was deserted once we left La Paloma and it was really nice to it all to ourselves. We have lunch in a little restaurant in La Pedera and then we walked back. The whole trip took us about 5 or 6 hours mainly because we stopped so many times. One of the things I really enjoyed was the temperature of the water. I don´t go in the sea in Chile because it’s too cold. However, La Paloma and the surrounding area are on the Atlantic coast so the water is warm.

ReplyDeletelooks like a nice and peaceful vacations. Uruguay is beautiful, i've been in Punta del Este and was great... the beach, weather, womens...
ReplyDeleteEven chilean people don't like the cold water of the chilean beaches. I always have trouble going in for the first time, and I'm a big fan of bodyboarding.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious about that muzzarella thing you were talking about. My mouth is watery...
I havent't seen the sunrise at the sea. ever.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch it? how was it like?
It seems like you have a very good time there, thats aweosome. I went to Uruguay too; Montevideo is a lovely city, I remember we went to the Centenario stadium and we take many pictures, my father couldn't be more happy, but in chile I erased all this photos, it was very sad and I felt terrible :(
ReplyDeleteI feel almost envious about so many places you've visited! Someday I may show too the places that I will visit
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful picture Simon! Seems like you really enjoyed that holidays. I love swimming on the ocean, but yeah, it's too cold bathing on Chilean beaches. I would love to have the chance of swimming on warm waters.
ReplyDeleteYou should go to Pichidangui, that´s the coldest water of Chile!!
ReplyDeleteThe good part of having cold water at our beaches is that we don´t have sharks
I've never been to Uruguay, but last summer, one friend went there and she always tells me that La Pedrera is a beautiful place, hope to have the chance to go there one day!
ReplyDeleteNice photo, I have heard good things of montevideo, my sister went too, and told me it was great, she also told me about a village that was very beautiful, but I don't remember the name. Must been really nice swimming in those waters, Chile is really cold.
