Around the World Trip - Day 91 - 2nd April 2009 – Uruguay


After breakfast I had a walk round the shops bought some credit for ACEN mobile network. Ismael had borrowed a mobile off his sister so I could use it to contact him and visa versa when he was at work or night classes. I managed to speak to lingo okay and got exactly what I wanted lol.


For lunch I took a walk to Rocco bar and Restaurant (the usual place round the corner). I had a ganders at the menu and in the end decided to have a “menu del dia” (menu of the day to me n you) which was a Mediterranean salad, glass of wine, dessert and tea or coffee. When it came it was pretty big and had plenty of different things on it to keep it interesting. While I was having my salad I spotted the old guy from our hotel sat at the bar on his own. After I finished my lunch I went over and sat at the bar and asked him if he was English etc. He was from Tennessee and it was his last day so he was killing time in the bar as he was on his own. I had a couple of drinks with him and chatted about what he had done while he’d been here. It turns out he had spent most of his time either sat in the hotel lobby or in Rocco’s bar as they spoke a little English. Apparently, he was meant to have been meeting someone at the airport but they never showed up, bless. So he didn’t feel safe wandering around on his own. I haven’t been bothered I've just kinda gone off and done my own thing really, but speaking at least a little Spanish helps I think.

The weather was pretty overcast all day so it wasn’t really sunbathing weather so I did a bit of time in the gym with my ipod on and read a book in the room as I was a bit too windy to sit up on the roof terrace.


Went on the net for a bit and uploaded my recent pics and blog and chatted on MSN (so rock n roll lol).


When Ismael got back we went to Rocco’s for dinner and a few drinks and then back to the hotel to watch a it of telly.


Found this pic in my phone that Ismael had sent me a while back. I feel like I know who these people are now. That's mobile shorts guy and I think red face is the other guy?

Bed about 12am.
