From Juan Lacaze, we went back to Montevideo just to change the bus, and then continued towards Punta del Este.
We spent some great days in Maldonado with Karin, Brigitte and Pavel. After a little bike tour, we had a picknick at the beach.. and even went swimming.. though the water was quite cold We saw a lot of beautiful trees and flowers in a park, and especially in Lavalleja the landscape was really lovely.
One day, we went horseback riding in Maldonado- and it was nice! The next day, we went to Minas, saw little waterfalls there (preparing for Iguazu) and finally, trying to find real gauchos, got to a little village at a lake. As we learnt, the horses there were for rent.. and because it was much cheaper than the last day, we decided to go horseback riding again, for one hour. On the way back to the starting point, we were invited to a little party at the local school, which had about 10 pupils. They were celebrating the end of the term.
Besides that, we ate the biggest Milanesa (or what was it called?) ever and had real Uruguayan barbecue.. And the fish was great too – i just don’t remember what the dish was called.
Thanks again to all of you for the great time we had together!
