COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO, URUGUAY

14. April 2011

From Buenos Aires it was only a short, one hour boat trip to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. All border issues were done at the terminal in Buenos Aires. The Argentinian and Uruguay officials standing directly next to each other, sharing one desk. I've never seen migration and immigration of two countries that close to each other.
Sun was shining when we got to Colonia and it seemed to be a nice town. And it really is a lovely little town. Very quiet and with lots of old buildings and cobblestone streets. There were a few restaurants and cafes with outdoor seating but very few people. And the river seemed to be on all sites of the historical town center. I liked walking around between the historical buildings and enjoyed the tranquility of Colonial. Definitely one of the nicest cities in South America I've visited so far.
