I awoke early again and took abus to the terminal to catch another bus to Punta del Este. The two hour ride passed quickly with free wifi on board. I was able to read the NYT, CNN, and catch up on e-mail.
In high season, this is THE place to be in Uruguay. Punta del Este is an upscale town situated on a penninsula with the Atlantic on one side and the Rìo Plata on the other. It is autumn right now, so most of town was closed. I passed the time by circumnavigating the penninsula. It was beautiful but extremely mellow. Stores like Luis Vitton and Valentino along with the quality of boats in the marina yield evidence of the caste of people that frequent here in the summer.
