Aymi’s Adventures

The final encounter of our group

Nowhere else was ever going to live up to the sights at Iguassu so the next few stops were a little tedious. First was San Ignacio and the Jesuit Ruins. There was not much to do here so spent most of our time playing cards and getting beaten by the Irish, cheers Cathy & John you taught me some good cheats!!

Jesuit Ruins, San Ignacio

Next Salto and it´s hot springs and weird sand club, quite an amusing night, Cathy and John providing much of the entertainment rolling around in the sand so drunk they couldnt get up. Again other than this not much to do so we were not happy when Pablo told us we couldn´t get on the bus to Montivideo that day so we had to do another uncomfortable overnight bus journey and miss our night in Montivideo. Oh well, probably just as well as I was still quite hungover from the night before and my whole body ached after falling down the marble stairs so at least I had all day to recover!

Then onto Montivideo which looked really nice but we only had time to go for a nice lunch by the river and then do a city tour and then it was off to Colonia. What a weird place. I can imagine it being really boring if you were on your own there but luckily because there was a group of us we managed to take over the town!! After getting thrown out of the bar we were in we got loads of take outs and sat in the park getting more drunk, and then down to the beach. The worst thing about Colonia was the plague of giant mosquitos and the best thing was driving round the town in golf buggys.

Beautiful scenerary in Montivideo, this is actually a river not the sea!

Drinking in colonia and the golf buggy adventure

We finally ended in Buenos Aries after getting the ferry across from Colonia. It was really sad that this was our last night together and the drinking near where we were was not good but we all arranged to meet up for a city tour the next day and then later on that night for one final blow out in San Telmo.

The next few nights we partied at the Che Lagarto Hostel and met up with Louise who we met in Rio. Had a great 4 nights there apart from on the last night when someone decided to throw up all over my daypack and backpack. Nice! So at 5 in the morning I was trying to wash all my clothes and rucksack and backpak out so they didnt smell of spew, unfortunately I was unsuccessful and as we were leaving that day I had to travel the 14 hour bus journey with a backpack smelling of sick and I had to leave my daypack and use my beachbag for hand luggage – very classy! The joys of travelling!
