2nd Posting - Punta del Este, Uruguay

Sunday, January 15 we drove from Sao Paulo down to Santos, the port. It was a beautiful drive down through the coastal mountains to our ship, the RCCL Splendour of the Seas.


The first evening we had a welcome reception for our group during sail-away and had a great view of the city of Santos and the harbor.

Kermit was presented with a cake to celebrate his birthday a few days early (in case he decided not to come to dinner that night!)

Our Stewardess got creative with the towels.

Casa Pueblo. This is a house built by an artist to display his collections and it has turned into a museum, a restaurant, and a hotel - and the man still lives there!
