We got to Montevideo at dawn on the 15th, and two more cruise ships followed us into port. It was tight quarters, but the port is better set up (than Buenos Aires) to handle the mix of passenger and cargo ships.
We saw the pier-side memorial to the German battleship Graf Spee, sunk in the battle of the Rio Plata in 1939.
A quick trip ashore to check out the Mercado was followed by a full bus tour of the city, where we got to see the main plaza, the parliament, the futbol stadium, and miles of beautiful beaches.

We were taking pictures at one seaside park when we realized the palm trees next to us were full of parrots.
This was our last port of call.
Next up – Rio (and we start home)!
