11 February 2010
During our South American journey, we planned to visit our friend Nico who lives in Montevideo, Uruguay. We announced our intention to visit soon after we started our trip (June 2009). But our timing is quite unpredictable, and after a few months, Nico was already wondering if we were still heading his way at all. But we finally make it to Montevideo in February 2010 - two weeks before Nico and his family are moving to Asuncion, Paraguay.

It's great to see Nico again, and meet his lovely family: his wife Erika and daughter Valentina. Montevideo has a picturesque centre and an impressive 20km long constanera: definitely a city with a high quality of life. Nico and Erika introduce us to the culinary attractions of Montevideo and take us on a daytrip to Punta del Este - one of South Americas most famous beach resorts. Montevideo prides itself on having the world's longest Carnival celebrations. We spend one night watching part of the show in an open-air theatre.
