The evening is yours to rest up, reorganize your gear because we’re off again in the morning to Uruguay. The capital, Montevideo, revolves around Plaza Independencia, once home to a Spanish citadel. It leads to Ciudad Vieja (Old City), with art deco buildings, colonial homes and Mercado del Puerto, an old port market with many steakhouses. La Rambla, a waterfront promenade, passes fish stalls, piers, and parks.

         Lingering in Argentina...Yeehaw! today, we experienced a different kind of tour. We spent the entire time either travelling to our destination, or exploring the destination. How inventive of the Argentinians to create an entertainment complex based upon an oceanarium, a sea world. Mundo Marino is impressive. My eyes were afraid to blink and miss something.

         At the Refugio del Mar, I was in awe of the playful dolphins, and the intense orca. I laughed at the antics of the sea lions and elephant seals at Sea Lions' Island. I marvelled at the pinguinos, or penguins as they waddled/toddled along. Lago Paraiso also known as Paradise Lake was a magical. exotic place with a waterfall, birds, and flowers. It was a splash of vibrant colours. My camera feasted well on this safari.

         Back at our hotel, we compared photos. Digital cameras are wonderful. No more waiting to develop pictures after we return home.
