Apologies for that terrible cross-language pun!

The yachts looked beautiful in the dusk, though.

Around the Puerto de Punta del Este area

I was at the southernmost point of mainland Uruguay. There were these beautiful houses that looked out onto the water. Something caught my eye…

Do you see a cylindrical structure with a chimney-like thing on the top of the house on the left? What is it?

The next house also seems to have a similar structure, sans the chimney.

Is that a pizza oven? Anybody in the know?

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!
