one of the reasons i went to cabo polonio, despite the lack of electricity, was because there was supposed to be a big sea lion colony. getting there involved hopping on a bus from punta del diablo to a place called castillos, then another bus to the entrance, and then a 4x4 vehicle which bumped and bounded over the sand dunes until we reached the beach. when we arrived i dropped my bags off in the pousada and went up and down the beach scouting for the seals. i couldn't see a single one. whilst having a bite to eat i looked in my dictionary for the keyword i needed to ask the spanish speaking waitress where i could find them. i hesitated when i discovered it, as i think the phrase i needed was donde esta las focas? i wasn't confident that i was saying the correct word, and not hurling abuse. luckily we bumped into someone from our old hostel in montevideo who directed us around some rocks where a hundred seals were bathing in the sun. that saved me from dropping some foreign f-bombs.
