Small wheels in a big world
66 km (41 miles) – Total so far: 679 km (422 miles)
Today we had breakfast in our hostel before leaving, which is pretty unusual for us, because we aren´t really enthusiastic about the typical uruguayan breakfast….It turned out to be a good idea for the stretch to San Carlos leads right through the uruguayan mountains.
A day off filled with exciting things to do as one can see in the headline….

Today no headwinds. We started early at 7.30 o´clock for there were about 120km to go to Minas.
102 km (63 miles) – Total so far: 489 km (304 miles)
As soon as we started in the morning we rode with strong wind ahead. There was no secondary street we could take, so we had to cycle the national road that leads also to the capital of Montevideo in the south. Therefore traffic was more than usual.
45 km (28 miles) – Total so far: 387 km (240 miles)
We didn´t start too early today as we knew it would be a short stretch only. Durazno, which means „Peach“ is only about 50kms away.

We got up late, had some Mates and went to buy some stuff at the local supermarket.

We started in the morning with rain and low temperature. Soon we found a nice secondary road, unpaved and leading right through the fields.
Breakfast time ended at 10 o´clock in the morning and we arrived just in time….Here they serve the typical breakfast of Argentina: small croissants, the so called „Media Lunas“ which means „Half moon“ with coffee-mostly black. It´s not really exciting.
