We did not get moved on. A coolish morning with good Internet so I cooked a loaf of bread and a banana cake. We had a quick walk to the beach and saw a couple had picked up 4 big bags of rubbish and then leaving them on the beach drove their tiny four wheeler up the other end of beach to gather more rubbish. Very impressive.
Our road out of the camp site .

We had decided to go inland to a large man made lake in the center of Uruguay. So we wonder on.

Drove through the little beach towns and had lunch in La Paloma. The salmon was a little over cooked. We really are spoiled for food in Australia.


Anything at hand is used to stop motorists from driving where they are not wanted, in this case some sticks and witches hats.

We drove north to start of our little venture inland. Just trying to use up the days before we visit Alison & Michael in Montevideo.

Again we drove from one potential camp site to another but spots were hard to find. We ended up on a river just near the main bridge, 200km’s


Four guys came and launched a canoe and put a small 1hp outboard on it. A big icebox was loaded and some gear. Next they launched a larger homemade, round bulgy dinghy with a 5hp and bigger ice box. A few small sealed drums, 2 mattresses and one sleeping bag, lastly four small rifles in padded bags. One rifle was taken out of its container and put with the guy in the canoe. Two guys got in the other dinghy and the 4th guy drove the car away. Looks like they should have a good time.
