As I said before, travelling is something that I would like to do the rest of my life, I would like to know as many places as possible, and holidays are the best time to plan them.
Two or three years ago, in the summer holidays, I went to Uruguay with my school closer friends: we were eight people travelling across Uruguay, toghether the most of the time, but separate in some cases, meeting again when the new place had come, sleeping wherever we could in our tents or at a backpacker hostel, for about ten days.
The trip started in Santiago for all of us, but we met again when the last one arrived at the airport of the capital of Uruguay: Montevideo, because we all travelled by different planes and schedules. This first night we slept at the airport, seated around with our luggage on us, or at our backs to make sleeping a little more comfortable. We did hour for about 8 o 10 hours, waiting for the bus that would take us to the bus station. Some of us couldn't sleep during the night, and the others slept half trying to make the night nicer till the morning.
When we couldn't keep waiting, we took our backpacks and caught a bus through the city to the bus station, because that day we should reach the other end of the country and start from there the adventure.
The next few days, we stayed at Punta del Diablo, we went to the beach, we met people and new places like the small town with it's nice places to eat, the small calm hostels, their native friendly people and the nature around all. We started travelling from there, back to the country capital, through little trips by bus or backpacking, asking the cars to give us a ride.
After that, we went to Valizas, which is known for it's calm streets, the peace you can breathe, the hippie places you can know with it's low light surrounded by people with no shoes at all, and the enjoyable beach which makes the place perfect to forget everything and relax.
The final days, we knew Punta del Este, La Pedrera, and Montevideo, and with no doubt I can say that my favourite places were La Pedrera and Valizas, because of the people, the experiences, the places you can know. La Pedrera was a town full of people, full of handmade stuff, people that made you feel comfortable, and a beautiful beach with calm water...
During the trip, we stayed at different house backyards in our tents, which is very common in there: people which have a house, lend their backyards to backpackers with their tents for a little amount of money, and while you're staying there you can use the bathroom, the kitchen, the internet, the living room, and also you can meet other people which are staying in the same way as you do.
I really liked this trip, we had a lot of experiences, we knew a lot of people, we pass through many stuff that nowadays we remember and laughed for hours.
