Breakfast fairly average – usual fare for Brazil and up to now seems to be – fruit slices, ham and cheese slices, usually some variable scrambled egg and maybe hot-dog type sausage pieces, cereal, yogurts and mini-cakes.  Think that we will look back at this in fondness when we get to the latter stages of this trip!

Off to Airport where the Americans were on one flight, and Aussies, Brits etc on the next. Which only gave us one hour from landing in Buenos Aires to transfer and depart for Montevideo, Uruguay.  Bit of a rush through, not helped by having to go through immigration control.  Also no snacks on either flight and just one small glass of lemonade offered.

By the time we arrived in Montevideo, everyone hungry and thirsty. Short tour through town and dropped at very nice Crystal Hotel.

Short turn-around and straight out to recommended Fucus Restaurant, with Loretta, Ed and Jude. Closely followed by the rest of the group.  Steaks, salad and fries washed down with bottle of the local red Tannat wine (chilled!).   Followed by a waffle pud with gelato and the local caramel sauce. Yummy.
