2 sea days – lots of time to catch up on home school! (but no time to play bridge..) and then, on to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, a pleasant smallish city located on the east bank of the Rio de la Plata (across from Buenos Aires). After lunch on the boat (finding it hard to go too long without food now!), we spent the afternoon walking around the city, finishing off in a nice little outside restaurant. As normal we were due back on the boat by about 4.30pm.
