Day 29(Feb 2)- Punta Del Este, Uruguay

Back to Uruguay today but now we’re at Punta Del Este which is a beach town with many resorts. Many Argentines go there for holiday. It was strange to be a tourist in a town full of vacationers. The city has 18,000 permanent residents and about 300,000 residents during the holiday season.

The harbor was full of fancy yachts. And right next to them were old fishing boats and in the bay was our cruise ship.

I took a tour of the highlights of Punta Del Este which included a winery visit for cheese and wine tasting. After the tour I took a walk around town.
