Buenos Aires to Uruguay

I was in BA for like 10days.
I was hangin out with this real nice woman from the UK.
We went San Telmo - this cool old part of the city with nice buildiungs, antiques markets and other stuff.

I took photos of this statue because it felt real life like - it was in the courtyard of a old catholic church.


During my travels I have met hundreds of isreali folk (literally hundreds - these isrelites luv south america!). But they all look like normal dirty travellers - so it was propper refreshing to see propper orthodox jews donning scull caps, beards had hats - keeping it real. Stay in touch with your roots.


I like san telmo.



We went to the port on monday to get a boat 2 urugauy. We had to wait really long.
Sinead was ill. Mark was hung over. I took candid photos to pass time.




We boarded the boat to Colonia (small coastal town) in urugauy.


We said goodbye to buenos aires at sunset.


I didnt sleep last night. I felt ill. I couldnt breath much , had a soggy nose, sore throat and a headache like a elephant sat on my face or something.
Plus this chump on the bunk below was snoring.




Anyway I got up this morning and decided that i would try and see some of the place before i felt too sorry for myself. So i found a bike and saw sum of the town.
It was very quiet and friendly. simple beach. simple transport - little mopeds, golf carts, bikes and 1960s busses. I like it.
So i rode round on this bike. It was no 1980s peugeot racer, but it would surfice. It felt nice to roam freely so I discovered some nice spots.

I was ill. Thats why i look concerned.




So my watch which i found before my GCSEs is unsurprisingly on its last legs.
I naively thought that coz its called ´Aqua´ and it says on it that it is water ressistant, that it would still work after this french (beach volley ball under 21 international girl with man strength) pushed me in a swimming pool.
So it died.
But in Sao Paulo I found a dude in the street who fixed it for me for 90p. However, after further water abuse it is dying again - some of the numbers cant be accurately seen. So working out the time is laways a really fun game.


Who cares. I´m sorry its 1am.












Goodnight.
