Just come to the end of a really pleasant weekend sojourn with a friend down here in South America. A cross border jaunt by ferry from Buenos Aires to Montivideo, then an eight hour round trip drive to hike up Cero Catederal, Uraguay’s highest point. With its altitude sapping 514 metres, it is was my 30th high point, and if it took me half an hour, that would be a generous statement. On the way back we also had a visit to the visually non-inspiring Iglesia de Cristo Obrero y Nuestra Señora, a Roman catholic church, in the city of Atlántida, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then to finish off the weekend we had a 15km amble around Montivideo to visit the best sights of the town on its 300th anniversary. All nice stuff done in a charming little country.
