Montevideo again was not really on the Radar as a must see place, although I had always planed on taking the ferry over. The ferry turned out to be expensive and it was best to go to Colonia, which again was a result. Montevideo has an old town by the port which still has it scruffy side and it`s gentrified side as well. Like Colonia it has beaches on each side and colonial buildings, some in good repair and others need repair. These building can be found side by side with 70s style blocks. So it´s a mish mash of styles. So far the feeling I get from it is a very safe city.

Red Hostel - Hostel Red, don`t believe the hype (one of the best hostels in South America), so far I`ve had hassel with them.
