about 8 years ago, i was watching the travel channel and they featured the most beautiful place on earth. i had no idea what it was called or where it was at. so after spending only 1 day in uraguay, i actually went to the bus station to get a ticket out of here and back to argentina. then as i was walking in, i seen a map and saw this small writing “cabo polonio.” i stopped, looked again, and told myself “could this be it?” after asking a few questions, i found out that was the place i’ve dreamt of!!!! and get this, it’s only 3 hours away from here!
yes, this is breathtaking! why would you want to be anywhere else in the world? 8 years ago, i told myself “wow, that place is cool!” today, i’m telling myself “wow, i’m going there!” forget the bus ride back to argentina, that will have to wait a few days. so i’m renting a car this evening, and leaving early tomorrow morning. driving into the unknown, but that’s what i came here for. i’m going to a place untouched. i bet i’ll be the first guy from hawaii ever going there. can’t wait.
and yes, there is no way i’m going to miss the sunrise. how can you when you sleep and wake up right on the beach? no electricity, no roads, no water, and no nothing. just a few small hostels and it’s just you and the wildlife. seals on the rocks, waves in the ocean, huge sand dunes, and millions of falling stars! only a 100 people live there and it’s a journey into there because you have to park 18 km away and a truck has to come pick you up.
i’m going to live like a hippie! it’s actually my first time i’m experiencing something like this. i’ll light up a candle in the evening, blow it out, and watch the falling stars as it puts me to sleep. no iphone, no computer, and no nothing for 2 days. one of my dreams is finally going to come true!
and if you haven’t been here to uragury, you don’t know what you’re missing out. this place is like one of the hidden gems of the world. the people are nice, the streets are clean, and the scenery is just freaking amazing! i rode a bike around the peninsula and it was just crazy beautiful. i’ll download the photos soon. well, that’s when i get electricity back.
