Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, good for a one/two days stop. 
Its a pretty city, filled with old buildings and cars.  And apparently it sometimes "step-in" for Cuba in movies. 















Where to eat:
Grab a beer and watch the sunset at La Ronda Café, Ciudadela 1182



Eat a steak at one of the many restaurants of Mercado del Puerto.



Have an Empanada at Empanadas Carolina,  Mercado del Puerto. Its some of the best empanadas we ever had, and so many different varieties. Our favourite was "Napolitan - cheese, tomato and basil.





Eat salad and have a glass of wine at Jacinto, Sarandi and Alzaibar street.



Where to stay:
Willy Fog Hostel! Superfriendly and helpful reception. Big, great hostel in a good area. Large rooms, kitchen, good wifi and cheap.

From Cabo Polonio: 3 hour bus, 500 Uruguayen pesos (140nok)
From Buenos Aires: 3 hour boat, 500 Arg pesos (550nok)
