Yesterday we visited Colonia in Uruguay.
We took the ferry from Buenos Aires Puerto Madero, which takes 1hr to cross the Rio de Plata to Colonia in Uruguay.
Colonia is a colonial settlement that swapped hands between the Portuguese and Spanish 10 times within a 100 years during the colonial wars and it remains remarkably intact and shows how both cultures shaped it´s look i.e. there are Spanish style houses next door to Portuguese and different street constructions.
It was another great day meeting really nice locals and enjoying tinto vine, potres and a superb paella.
Today we leave Buenos Aires and although we´ve had a wonderful time we cannot wait to get to Rio and the beach!!!
