Bill's Big Trip "Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do, nothing to kill or die for. Imagine all the people living life in peace. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one." John Lennon

Cobo Polonio, Uraguay

URUGUAY | Monday, 7 July 2014 | Views [279]

I was headed through Uraguay on my way to Buenas Aires Argentina and was looking for some place off the beaten path. Met some people on the bus and they recommended a place called  Cabo Polonio. I found it on the map and bought my bus ticket. The bus dropped me off along the side of the road at 4:30 in the morning outside of a town called Rocha. It was cold, I was fortunate to find a restaurant, it was closed but I saw someone inside. I knocked on the door and they were kind enough to let me in. (I had no Uraguay money, good they take US dollars). Waited for daybreak and took a taxi to Rocha. Got a 1:30pm bus ticket to Cobo Polonio. Get off the bus and I don't see a town. Turns out had to take a large 4x4 truck to get Cobo. Fun ride, 10 minutes through woods and sand dunes and another 10 minutes riding along the beach. Anyhow it was quite a day of travel, I finally did make it and it was worth the effort. See pictures

About lipowcan8

A quick recap. I visited 19 countries in 212 days, traveled 46,000 miles by air,15,000 miles by land and spent about $25,000. My feet got beat up a few times and I twisted my ankle a couple of times.  No plane, train, car, bus, tuk tuk or taxi mishaps, not even a fender bender. I wasn't threatened or harassed and amazingly enough I didn't lose anything. It's hard to believe seven months have passed. As I said in my first entry.....a wonderful way to celebrate 60 years of living. It sure was!
