The tenders were ready for morning boarding at promptly 8:30. We booked a shore excursion touring the upscale resort town of Punta del Este. Two museum stops were on the agenda: the Ralli Museum and the CasaPueblo, followed by a barbecue lunch at Lapataia Farm. The traditional Uruguayan meal featured a variety of grilled meat, the best empanada ever and, for dessert, a dulce de leche crepe. A real treat!
Stormy weather was brewing up quickly, so the last stop on the tour was cut in order to expedite our return to the ship. It was a tad too late. About 20 of us were stuck on the tender due to rough seas and the inability of the crew to make a smooth and safe landing tethered to the Quest. It was scary, but after a nail-biting 30 minutes bouncing around, all were “carried” off the tender. A very exciting end to a civilized tour in Uruguay.
