Punta Del Este

Punta Del Este is a very popular beach town that is a Gold Coast look alike. Argentineans and Brazilians flock here over summer, which officially starts on Dec 15th each year. We got to enjoy the beautiful beaches without the crowds, our hostel was also very quiet. We spent 5 very relaxing days here. Our daily routine went something along the lines of wake up at 9am, leave hostel at 11am, sun bake and read on the beach till we got hungry, return to the hostel for lunch and a rest time, go for a walk along the beach or Boardwalk, buy cheap beers and watch the sun set on the beach while listening to some tunes, cook dinner in the hostel and finish off with a movie before bed time. Our tans are coming along nicely :-) the sun is very hot here as the hole in the ozone layer is directly over Uruguay.
