Asuncion to Montevideo


DAY 15, LEG 71 - Asuncion to Montevideo


After a night stop in Asuncion, it was an early start on a cold morning to continue our journey south.  Today, the plan is to fly to the Falkland Islands and on the way, we will take in two more new countries on our trip, Uruguay and Argentina.  Our stop in Uruguay is at the capital, Montevideo, on the banks of the River Plate.  The airport serves mostly South American destinations, as well as scheduled flights to Madrid and Miami.


Departing Asuncion in the early morning.

Passing the Uruguay River.


Some cloud at our level as we approach the borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, so we descend to FL200 to avoid any turbulence.
