Montevideo is quite a flat area and so it is hard to believe where the name of the city came from according to an old ledgend : When a ship was sailing along the cost a spanish sailor was shouting Monte video ( I see a mountain ).
and now I saw the hill as well ! |
|  | I came to Montevideo on a cruise and I had made just a little walk of 3-4 hours because I still felt a bit of "Montezuma's revenge" that had caught me 2 days before my arrival in Montevideo.
So, all you can see on my page here can easyly be done in just a few hours... |

I'm glad you liked Montevideo! But it doesn't mean I saw the mountain ... the legend says it meant Monte VI dE-O (the sixth mount from east to west)! Cheers bro!!! | yumyum Wed Mar 26, 2008 05:43 UTC
Excellent comprehensive page. Well done! I also walked around the flea market that time on a really hot summer day and was trying to buy sunscreen with USD... | HORSCHECK Tue Mar 25, 2008 19:53 UTC
Michael, fantastic page about this busy metropolis. I really like the architecture of Montevideo. My favourite photo is the one of the old coastal steamer. Greetings from snowy Germany. | Kuznetsov_Sergey Tue Mar 25, 2008 16:27 UTC
Thorough and vivid page as usual, Michael! Yes, the mountain isn't so high at your photo that I could say I saw it! Ha-Ha! But you've seen it I'm sure! Happy Easter from Orthodox Russia which have to wait it a month! |
