Yesterday’s navigation preparations made finding the Buquebus terminal fairly hassle free; though not free of anxiety - Only one wrong turn. We arrived 2.5 hours before departure so we were the first car in line. The ferry terminal looks and feels like a modern airline terminal. The border formalities for exiting Argentina and entering Uruguay were next to each other and without hassle. We have accomplished “LA to Buenos Aires” and now we are on the “Buenos Aires to LA” leg!
Uruguay is a lovely country of rolling hills and lots of water. Enjoy
the pictures from Colonia, through Montevideo and then to Punta del Este – a major international resort area. That means great accommodations and great food! We ended up with a beautiful suite at L’Auberge Hotel. It is next to the best golf course in town where we will play tomorrow.When asked what we could do to top this LatAm Road Trip, I wonder if driving around the Himalayas would be as adventurous. We would pick up a new SUV in Germany within the next 4 years and head through East Europe, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, then turn around in 
SE Asia to drive the south side of the Himalayas. The car would be shipped to LA from India, unless by then it would be safe to drive through Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf. The car would have German plates so we wouldn’t be obvious targets for anti-American feelings. Who wants to sign up for any part of that adventure?!
