Overland to Buenos Aires
16/12/10 22:01 Filed in: Brazil
Spent the day de-rigging the boat preparing her for a short layup. The senior marinero indicated that they might want to move Kiriwina at some point. This is not ideal as I know of at least one boat that has been damaged in the process.
I said I preferred that the boat be moved while I was there but nothing happened.
There seems to be a problem with my Sterling digital battery charger. When connected to shore power it emits a continuous clicking but does not charge.

I left the club at 18:00 and stopped en route to book a ticket from Montevideo to Buenos Aires. In the end I chose BuqueBus. If only because they were the quickest option with a direct high speed ferry to Buenos Aires. Cost Arg$407 (£66).
My Embaixador regional coach left Rio Grande at 20:00. It is a stopping service and the trip up to Pelotas took a bit over and hour.
This left we with a couple of hours in Pelotas coach station before catching a TTl coach to Montevideo. It was a rainy night with very few people waiting.
Unusual spiral walkway at Pelotas coach station.
