Due to a reorganisation and the merger with British Gas Piet and his team landed another project, this time a number of concessions offshore Uruguay. Part of his new tasks are a number of engagements with the Uruguayan government, to discuss progress and forward looking plans. With two colleagues he flew to the capital Montevideo, and stayed there for 3 days. It is quite a boring place, with mainly modern buildings, and little obvious history. The city is well organised and very save, but certainly not a tourist destination; the apparently nice beaches are located on the wide Plata river, with brown, muddy water. The highlights were the excellent wine and food, and the very friendly people in the Shell office and the government. Below are some pictures to give an impression.
