    Nice! Good luck and enjoy. I hope Uruguay has mountains. If so, can we use yours as a base for a Crudders tour of South America? :wink:

    looks far prettier than coatbridge, thats for sure. wonder what the postage is on a glass bottle of bru all the way to uruguay. slices of lorne should be cheap mind.
    Fancy a brew?

    Doesnt Uruguay have the same population as Wales. You could have saved soem money and went to Rhyl.

    I'm guessing Uruguay has far better weather than us though. :cry:

    Uruguay also has far less Welsh speaker than Wales. Which may not necessarily be true of Patagonia :shock:

    Wife is Uruguayan and told me she would like to experience a summer for the first time in 4 years. As she is homesick it's time to live there. In two minds to take bike or punt it and buy new one there. The cost of shipping stuff over is scary!!


    Sharks gub is about as bad as it gets here hahaha. I do play poker down at the Segton though

    Ah, I see.
    Sounds nice. I'd suggest taking your bike with you though, I'm not sure what you could get hold of in Uruguay.

    Best of luck - I guess it's a hell of a lot easier having family there and there's always the MTB'ing to help keep you sane.

    BTW will you be changing your username to 'Montevideoguy'? :)
