Monte Video, Uruguay

Chuck and I boarded our ship, the Norwegian Crown, on Sunday afternoon, March 25, in Buenos Aires. The first leg of our cruise was from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago, Chile. It was the last sailing of this route for the season. Once we were on board, we learned it was the last sailing of this ship because the Crown had been sold to another cruise line. This made the trip quite nostalgic for the crew.

By the time the ship sailed away the sun was starting to set. We said our farewell to Buenos Aires from the back of the ship.


We were at our first port, Monte Video, Uruguay, when we woke up the next morning. Chuck and I had breakfast and headed out to see the city.

This first photo was taken from the main town square. I loved this building....so I snapped a photo so I could share it with you.


Here is Chuck in the middle of the town square. He is looking at the monument that towers over the area.


Since this was the last cruise of the season, the vendors were out in full force. They will not see another ship load of cruise tourists for another six or seven months.


Monte Video had lovely parks as you can see in this picture.


Next, I will share pictures from our next stop, Port Madryn, Argentina
