The board claimed that I had reached the southernmost tip of Uruguay. Although, strictly speaking, there is a small island south of here – Isla de Lobos. You can go there by ferry or helicopter. I did not have much time to go there. Apparently, there are lot of seals to be seen there.

This memorial for peace was constructed after the residents of Punta del Este became accidental witness to the largest naval battle in the mouth of Rio de Plata in the Second World War.

The bike road was about fifteen feet above the rocks where the waves were lashing. While watching the water slip in thru the rocks, I noticed something interesting. The object kept moving in a way that seemed like it was self-propelling. Then, I realized that I was looking at a jellyfish!

Do you see it?

Rode down south along the waters from Playa Manas. Eventually, came to a point where I could take the bike and go down to the rocks. It was fun navigating the rocks.

Then we took pictures of each other!!

This is the other famous beach in Punta del Este. Like Playa Brava, this is very crowded too!

Was getting a tired of biking in the sun. Decided to sit down in the shade of a tree and get some mindful time.

This is on the Rio de Plata side.

One of the two famous beaches of Punta del Este. This is on the Atlantic side. It has some angry waves and is ideal for surfing. As you can see, it is a full house today. Apparently, today has been a great day weather-wise after a few days. It is always windy since it is a peninsula stuck between two large bodies of water, but the sun is out in full glory today!

This sculpture in the middle of the beach – that of a humongous hand emerging from the sands – is a major tourist attraction here. On my bike ride, I went to this spot first. The original sculptor – who is from Chile – apparently finished this in 6 days one summer. He had then replicated the same in Madrid, Venice and in the Atacama desert in Chile.
