Overland to Buenos aires
Our TTL coach for Montevideo was due to depart at 23:30 but we didn't board until 00:15.
Brazil and Uruguay have a very considerate approach to overnight travellers. One's passport is held by the coach conductor who takes care of all formalities. A declaration is completed at checkin so at borders crossings sleeping passengers are not disturbed.
TTL are not as luxurious as the premium Argentine coach services but their coach was comfortable and the staff very helpful and considerate.
It was an uneventful overnight trip. We passed smoothly through Brazilian and Uruguayan border posts either side of Chuy, stopped at Punta del Este and arrived in Montevideo (Tres Cruces) more or less on time .
I took a Collectivo down to Montevideo Harbour. It was very hot and Buquebus was a bit chaotic. The self serve checkins did not work and they were having repeated computer malfunctions at the checking desks.
Upstairs prior to boarding it was all a bit of a zoo. Eventually boarding started but large areas of the ferry were cordoned off with the result that there were not quite enough seats made available for all on board.

Departure was around 13:00 and three hours later we arrived in a very hot Buenos Aires.
