Montevideo, Uruguay

We’ve been to Montevideo before and like it very much. It’s a charming, walkable city. We’ve seen the major sites before so spent the day strolling the pedestrian mall, enjoying the colonial architecture and the sunshine.

We planned to take care of some personal grooming if we could find a haircut for Brad and a mani/pedi for me. Bingo on both fronts! Brad’s haircut - $5 US. My mani/pedi - $35 US. (Grooming services are available on board but are VERY expensive so most of us look for those services in port.)

We had time to have an afternoon snack at the market next to the port with our new friend Louis who is also an Around the world passenger. He’s originally from Montreal but now lives in California with his partner Doris. Doris was at a salon getting her hair done so he was happy to join us.Read more
