This morning I took a bus from Montevideo to Maldonado. Distance: 134 km, 2 hours on the bus, cost: 5 pounds. I need to relax on a beach for few days and to be lazy for a change. Not much walking and visiting! - I promised myself during a long walk back home from the beach.
My host Nicolas picked me up from the bus station with Dee from Ireland who arrived in his house 2 hours before me. In the house I met his parents, a girl from Peru and Poland, and a guy from Medellin in Colombia. We have had a lot of fun on the beach and we were swimming a lot in the cold sea today (in the picture).
Maldonado is a small town, there is just a main square, many shops and streets. But... it's great, I need a change after visiting several big cities.
