Christmas day. Fruit platter and pancakes for brunch oh and
a bottle of sparkling, (Chandon made in Uruguay.) Mike took us for a
drive around the city and up to the fort. The fort had a museum of
rifles and pistols, quite interesting. I wouldn’t like to have a
blunderbuss pointed at me….
It is interesting
that Mike insists that the ocean as we see it is actually still river
and is named a river out to a line between two headland, punta del
Este and San Clemente del Tuyu about 223kms apart and 100km’s
seaward of Monteviedeo.
We drove around parliament house and past the presidents home which was neighbored by other grand old houses
Had an afternoon nap then lovely roast lamb for dinner. Haven't had lamb since we were back in Aus.
