Montevideo - Uruguay

Small park overlooking River Plate
Independence Square
Settler wagon train
Parliament building
Coffee stop
Drizzling a little as we moored up at 8am. Looked out for the remains of the Graf Spee but nothing is now above the water. We did see the rangefinder and anchor in the port.

We had a city tour followed by a steam train ride - but the train got cancelled as they were on strike!

So we had a look round the city and visited a local market - and had a coffee!

We then went around the city and went to the Club Uruguay, where we were shown around a lovely old building - ready to be written up for the National Liberal Club!
