Puerto Sauce to Mercedes
16/04/10 22:10 Filed in: Uruguay
Felt a lot better this morning and got up early to do some more winterising. Swapped all halyards with dummy lines. The halyards will still need washing.
Due to a check the bus times malfunction I missed the bus into Colonia. If I caught the next bus I would have missed my onward connection to Mercedes. A punishing Ur$750 (£25) taxi ride into Colonia was the solution.
Our bus route to Mercedes took us through Carmelo, Nueva Palmira and then inland to Mercedes. The service is not an express. It stops at major towns and villages and most other places on request. This more than doubled the trip time to Nueva Palmira where Nancy joined me.
We got into Mercedes at around 15:00 and checked into the Gran Hotel Brisas Del Hum on Plaza Independencia. Not the cheapest at US$75 but it was relatively new and very comfortable.
