Just got into Punta this morning. I will be here for the weekend before heading to Montevideo for a few days and then taking a ferry to Buenos Aires.
Any suggestions for Punta / Montevideo ?

Haven't been to Punta del Este, but heard good and bad about it. Passed through Montevideo for a day and I really liked it to be honest. It's probably the most chilled-out capital city I've ever been in. Parts of it are a bit run-down and a lot of places need a lick of paint, which in my opinion gives it a fair bit of rustic charm. The Uruguyans I met seemed really friendly and the girls were quite pretty, but not up to the standards of Argentina or Brazil. I never got a chance to experience the nightlife but I met an English guy who was doing some college exchange programme for 4 months and he said the nightlife was excellent. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I'd say Montevideo's definitely worth checking out.

Update : The bar was called La Ronda. Not La Roca.
As for the girl I met there? He shoots. He scores!
Texted her the next day (yesterday) and invited her out. She said yes. We met at the bar at my hostel with along with 2 other girls I met through couchsurfing (not cute) around 10:40pm.
This girl was every bit as cute as I remember. She looks exactly like a younger, cuter version of Michelle Forbes's character in the movie Kalifornia (the one with the short black bob haircut) only with a friendly, sweet personality.
The four of us went to a bar nearby and shared some beers. The girls mostly talked and I just kinoed HBkalifornia and chilled.
When HBkalifornia went to the bathroom, the girls, who noticed obviously what was going on, said "You know if you want us to leave you guys alone, just let us know". I said cool. Chilled some more and when it was time to bounce to another part of town (a part of town near HBkalifornia's place, my idea) I just typed out a message on my phone asking the other girls to make their excuses and give us some privacy.
Not only were they totally cool, they even gave us a lift to the next venue before leaving us alone.
Weds Night Nightlife Tip : Azabache Cafe is rocking on a weds night. Along with La Ronda on Tues, mid-week nightlife in montevideo rocks IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO (otherwise it sucks, centre of town was dead).
Azabache Cafe is in the middle of a park. El Parque De Los Aliados if you want to look it up. Anyway, we get there and its packed but there is a cover. She does not have cash for the cover charge and, if I paid the cover I would only have enough left to buy 1 drink.
We laugh and scratch that idea. Turned out to be for the best because we started walking and looking for a regular bar and, on the walk, I asked her if she had beer / wine / music at her place (as I knew we were in her neighbourhood now) and we could party there. She lived with her folks so that was out so I suggested we go to a hotel and make our own party.
She seemed down for that idea so we walk towards the cash machine so I can pay the taxi and hotel. On the walk I stop her, pull her into me and make out with her on the street.
Get to the cash machine and hop in a cab. Hotel was only $20 for the night plus $3 for a litre of beer to share and we made our own party.
Am seriously glad we couldn't get into Azabache at 1am because I did not stop banging this chick until 6am. God knows what time it would have been if we had spent a few hours in Azabache first.
Time from meetup to bang on the day 2? A little over 3 hours. If you add that to time spent on the day 1 it's probably about 3 hours 40 mins or something like that.
I am taking the ferry to BA in a little over an hour becuase I am busy there this weekend (6 girls to meet and a birthday party to go to) but we have already made plans to party together on monday or tuesday for a few days.
I already told this girl I don't believe in monogamy so she is definitely down with just being lovers and she is a keeper. My first Uruguayan chick too.
This girl is great ! Lesbian bar game rocks !!

Good lay report Lumiere. Way to go. What's the notch count for your trip so far?

The check caller I mentioned earlier ran his $500 up to $1,500 and then promptly lost it all, bought in again for $500 and I stacked him and then he bought in again.
Long story short, I bought in for $300 and cashed out for over $3,000.
I got it up to more than $3,500 at one point but ended up cashing out for $3,120 which I am quite happy with.
Bearing in mind that I only spend about $1,000 per month that's not bad.
When I bought in I had the least amount of chips on the table and when I cashed out I had more chips on the table than everyone combined.

Guys,
I'm planning to go to Punta del Este in December/january for end of year holidays. Well I saw in a blog guy saying all the top-models from Brasil, Uruguay, Argentina go there during this period of the year in order to be seen/cast. Can anyone confirm that lol?
Well basically i'm hesitating between Punta del Este and Florianopolis since I'm looking for a spot with:
1) nice playa
2) HB>9. high quality chicks
3) Sun
Thanks !
