I had the chance to go Montevideo, Uruguay a few weeks ago, and I loved it! It totally is Buenos Aires for Norwegians – small, manageable, clean, easy to get around. You can feel that it is an up and coming country, as soon as you get off the plane there is just a pleasant air of buenda onda, prosperity, and of course the great weather helped. It is definitely more expensive than Argentina, but was well worth a visit. I met up with former colleagues and it was great catching up. Ever since seeing Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” episode from Uruguay I had been wanting to go and we enjoyed a few of his recommendations, such as the Mercado del Puerto.
