Punta del Este is a tender port where we were waved off 4 days ago and just went into Buenos Aires early. Today was a nice calm day, and we took the tender/lifeboat into town. We were here twice in 2020 and had taken the Oceania tour. This time we went independently, and walked about the town.
Marina as we tender away from her.
We started walking up the hill from the port. (It's always uphill from the port, otherwise you'd be under water.) A street mural along the way.
Ornamental grass alongside a park at the lighthouse.
Mata Hari wall art
Meteorological station
Iglesia de la Candelaria, the church at the top of the hill.
The lighthouse at the highest point on the southwest end of the peninsula.
Oceania had an excursion where you provided the motive power to get from place to place. They passed us as we were leaving the lighthouse. We came upon them later at the fingers.
A black Coca Cola sign?
Stopped in a grocery to get needed supplies, like Oreos. March is back to school time in Uruguay so everything is on sale. I should have stocked up on confiteria.
Feeling particularly good this day, we walked all the way to the fingers, about 2km from the lighthouse, but we wandered a bit on the way. We ended the trip back at the ship with about 5+ miles on the Fitbit.
Playa Brava
Uruguyan flag
Nail polish
This is the same guy that's on the horse in Independence Square, Montevideo.
A nifty bit of street art. This is filled with plastic bottle caps. There are two holes at the top of the heart where you can leave your contribution.
Tendering back to the ship, Isla Gorriti. Marked as uninhabited, but there are people on the beach. Perhaps they dock their boats on the far side.
