Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay

Yesterday we went over the Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires to Uruguay.  A quick day trip on the fast boat, only took an hour each way, meant we got to see the smallest country in South America.

 

The little historic town with quaint little streets was a nice break from the busy metropolitan Buenos Aires.  Lots of little plazas and cafes line the cobbled streets, where really there is not much to do except see the old town walls, sit on the beach, drink teas and coffees and see the odd two roomed museum (granted some museums are interesting… but these were very very dull!).

Anyway, Uruguay seems nice and relaxing and it was good to visit another country… back for some Tango in Buenos Aires tonight though
