Packed and with a stomach full of ice cream, I took a bus to the terminal, and bought a ticket to Concordia. But the Uruguayan bus system turned out to be disappointing: at 14h30, they gave me back the 73 pesos, since the bus had been somehow damaged. I had no patience to wait until the next bus, which was in about 6 hours.
So I went to the port, and I ended up crossing in a boat to Concordia. More interesting than simply a bus…

The bus arrived to Salto at 23pm. So I just found a hostel and ate a lot, as it was my only meal in the day.

No, I wasn’t in an album of ‘In Flames’, but in ‘Colonia de Sacramento’, Uruguay…
Pretty city, for sure. Small and easy. Though it’s about the typical touristic things. And againt, the solitude of my Uruguayan experience was still there. I wished you had been there.

Just stopping for a while… there, in the terminal… everything resembled a mall, probably altered by sleepiness.

They were not the floods in Sta. Catarina those that stopped me. After all, it passed enough time, and it was again a safe and interesting area. I was stopped by the Brazilian bureaucracy, or more precisely, ineptitude: the immigration service was 22 kilometers (in Sta. Vitória) of the customs (2 km from Chuy). I guess that business as EGA give a solution to these bureaucratic problems. But its agency was closed (and the previous day they did not tell me of the potential problems I could have). And in the ‘rodoviario’, they asked me for a permit.
It could not pass the customs with the backpacks. Even if I had solved that matter, I was 22 Km away from complementing the needed papers.
So I just refused to stay one more day there to solve the absurd problems that appeared when trying to cross the border, and I took the bus to Montevideo. I could improvise. I was improvising.
A pity, because, it may have been interesting to write posts like ‘En pelotas em Pelotas’. But then, I was willing to cross through Iguazú.

I had a defined remaining time in Punta del Diablo. I had to take the most of it, so I had to go to la ‘fortaleza Santa Teresa’. A loong trek.
After that, I headed Chuy…

The first day, I arrived and little more. A night witt pasta, Tomás [cl] and Elisa [cl].
The second day was a sleepy day. I got to know the beach further south.
The third day, I went to Chuy. And I though I solved future moves.

I arrived at Montevideo, and looked for a hostel. It was pouring rain, like in Rosario. Though I was weary, I visited the city, because I didn’t intend to stay more than a day there. Pictures and stuff. At night, acoustic verses with the weird Richard [us], and card games with some people: Carla [cl], Paula [it], and other names that I never knew. So that is, people always ask ‘where you are from’ before even knowing your name… puff.
On the following day, after a coffee, I moved.
