Uruguay
We are in Uruguay! Whilst staying in the hostel in BA we met a couple who had just come from here, and we decided it would be an interesting way to get up to Misiones. At the moment we are staying in Colonia del Sacramento. We took a rather hairy one hour ferry ride across the estuary from BA yesterday.
We arrived in the morning and had a relaxing day wandering through the streets of the old town, looking at handicrafts, eating ice cream and empanadas (not all at the same time). We decided to stay here another day, with the beach in mind, but it is raining so we may have to rethink. Either way it will be a slow relaxing day adjusting to the pace of travelling, and enjoying the peace after busy Buenos Aires.

It is lovely to see your trip starting so well. Well done! Keep posting the photos. Try to use our Lab's satellite to track some good weather for you. Love from Ben's Dad xx
ReplyDeletePS Montevideo will have less rain at 20:10 GMT. It will be clear very soon.
Ah Ben you escape the weather and all those wonderful issues. 8" of snow maybe more and no trains running today. Still tomorrow should be better. Thansk for all the sayings. Working my way through them vvvvvv slowly.
