Punta del Esta

I watched a big electrical storm in Colonia over the river on Tuesday night. With the impending rain, it was a quick run back to the hostel only to find the roof wasnt very waterproof. Watched on TV how the same storm had caused flooding in Mar del Plata and flooded the BsAs subway.
The next morning i caught a bus through Montevideo to Punta del Esta. This is like the gold coast of Uruguay, with plenty of skyscrapers and nice beaches. It is the official point where Rio del la Plata reaches the Atlantic Ocean. These can be seen on either side of the peninsula, but it all looks like ocean to me.
With the high season already finished, the place is very empty, but the water still great for swimming. Now off to Montevideo for a few days.
