Day Two - Montevideo, Uruguay

Day two in picturesque Montevideo. What greeted us that day were clear skies, 68F (20C), sunshine and a light wind. Rick and I had breakfast then set out to explore the city on our own.

Our first stop was the tourist information center located just outside the port area. Provided with maps and a general idea of the surrounding area, we began our self guided tour.

Day One - Montevideo, Uruguay

In the late morning at 10:45 a.m., the Crown Princess approached the harbor of Montevideo and we sailed towards our designated berth. We left behind the blue Atlantic Ocean water which clearly divided the River Plate into a brown cloudy mix. The weather greeted us with mid-60F (20C) temperatures, sunshine, blue skies and a cool breeze. By 11:47 a.m. the first mooring line was tossed. The Captain skillfully "parallel parked" at the dock, which had another docked cruise ship close to our port bow (left forward). Gangways were rigged and ready for passengers to disembark by 12:10 p.m.
