Welcoming us to Montevideo, we were moored right at the foot of the Old Town |
Our first glimpse into life in Uruaguay |
Montevideo, Uruguay |
"Hey, there's that crazy cat lady we heard about! She has cat treats!" |
A colourful vegetable market |
A newstand - life in the Old Town (Ciudad Vieja) |
The streets of Cuidad Vieja - very busy! |
This looks like atremendously old building - good to see it being shored up instead of torn down |
Street scene |
More street scenes |
This didn't look like a tourist attraction, I think it was someone's real mode of transport |
Statue of Montevideo's founder, Don Bruno Mauricio de Zabala in the Plaza Zabala |
Another view of the statue in Plaza Zabala |
Kelly is shoe shopping again! Andrew approves.... |
This licence plate was very noticeable |

The fountain in Plaza Constitution, built in 1871 |
Andrew shops the antique market in the square |
Andrew, Kelly & Jim shopping - we didn't buy anything though |
So much for sale, so little time! |
It was time to stop at a local pub for jim to try out the local beer, ZILLERTAL. |
There is some georgeous architecture in the Old Town |
Lots of shopping stalls here |
Sailing away from Montevideo we had a great view of the Naval Customs House, circa 1923 |
This looks like it could be a train station? We saw this as we were sailing away |
Lots of boats moored up here! |
Leaving Montevideo, in the left of the picture the tall building is Palacio Salvo |
A really nice city - we had a great day. The pointy building on the left is the Communications building |
