Cruise through South America. Montevideo/Crucero por Sudamerica. Montevideo
Good morning, @worldmappin community. On Wednesday the 28th, we spent the whole day sailing. I will talk more about the cruise itself in another post. On Thursday the 29th, we made our last port of call in Montevideo, Uruguay.
As soon as we got off the ship, we just had to cross the Rambla Roosevelt and we were in the historic centre, with cobbled streets and colonial-era houses. It was really beautiful. It has cafés, restaurants specialising in beef and other things for tourists. We walked straight to the Rambla Francia to see the sea and then returned to the historic centre to visit a craft market, where we bought alfajores because my daughter collects the wrappers. Finally, we visited the Gaucho and Coin Museum, which is the former Central Bank of Uruguay, an excellent building that has been refurbished to house an exhibition on the history of the gaucho, their life, struggles, and daily activities. Admission to the museum is free. There is also a collection of old coins and banknotes. There are many more museums to visit, such as the Museum of Pre-Columbian and Indigenous Art, the Andes 1972 Museum, and the Gurvich Museum, but we didn't have that much time. We returned to the cruise ship to pack our bags, as we would be disembarking in Buenos Aires the next day.
Well, travellers, that's all for today. We'll see you in the next post. Thank you for reading.

Buen dia comunidad de @worldmappin. El miércoles 28 tuvimos todo el día de navegación, en otro post hablaré más con detenimiento del crucero en si. El jueves 29 hicimos nuestro último puerto en Montevideo, Uruguay.
Apenas bajamos del barco basta con cruzar la Rambla Roosevelt y ya estabamos en el casco historico, con calles de adoquines, casas de época colonial, realmente muy bonito. Tiene cafés, restaurantes con especialidades de carne vacuna y demás cosas para los turistas. Caminamos derecho hasta llegar a la rambla Francia a ver el mar y luego volvimos al casco histórico para ir a una plaza de artesanos, compramos alfajores ya que mi hija colecciona los envoltorios y por último visitamos el Museo del Gaucho y la moneda, es el antiguo Banco Central de Uruguay una excelente edificacion en el cual lo reacondicionaron para realizar una muestra sobre la historia del Gaucho, su vida, lucha, actividad diaria. La entrada al museo es libre y gratuita.También hay una coleccion de monedas antiguas y billetes. Existen muchos más museos para visitar Museo de arte Precolombino y del indígena, Museo Andes 1972, Museo Gurvich, pero bueno no teníamos tanto tiempo. Regresamos al crucero a preparar las maletas ya que al otro día desembarcaríamos en Buenos Aires.
Bueno viajeros éstos es todo por hoy nos estaremos viendo en el próximo post, Gracias por leer.
