Day 9 - Heading to the end of the world with no idea ....

Punta del Este (Uruguay) to Buenos Aires (Argentina)

Basically a day of travel today, taking an 8.30am bus to Montevideo, then changing to another bus for Colonía, followed by the ferry back to Buenos Aires. 

Typical Punta del Este tourists ... just lying around.

All very uninteresting, one amusing bit was waiting in the line for the ferry at Colonía. We were talking to a guy from Canada and then an older man behind us said "Did I hear you say you were going to Ushuaia tomorrow?", so we started chatting with both of them. They were both surprised that we were travelling to "The End of the World" without a concrete plan and just a hope that we would be able to get a deal on an Antarctica cruise. The Canadian called us "adventurers", while the other guy from the US appeared horrified by our lack of planing - it turns out he was catching a charter flight to Ushuaia the next day to go on a cruise through Antarctica to Cape Town for three weeks. As soon as it was time to board his lordship from the US bolted to the other side of the ferry, away from us peasants!
