Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay

Day trip to U R Gay

SUMMARY POINTS ...

  • Day trip to Uruguay. It's so close to Buenos Aires, plus the fare is only $35 for a return boat trip that it would be madness not to cram in one more country into this trip!
  • I mainly wanted to get a Uruguay stamp in my passport because of the name (huh huh huh) but for whatever reason I was cursed to get a stamp with DRY INK where the word "Uruguay" appears.. this happened on the EXIT stamp too ... gah! Pedro's stamp was perfect.. grr... so pissed was I at this that I decided to try to write the word into the stamp myself using a black pen I'd brought along .. it actually looks almost passable! Pain in the ass though!
  • As for Uruguay, the people are lovely (look like Argentinians but more friendly like Chileans), the little colonial town is a pretty place to spend a day lazing away, plus the river crossing is great fun as the boat is huge and exceedingly comfortable.
  • Definately recommended!
  • Drinking the Familia do Tomasa Malbec wine I brought from Mendoza and Irish Bar in the evening near our hotel (first guinness in South America... wasn't bad actually)

After previously dipping my toes in Latin America via trips to Cuba and Central America, it's time to go for the big splash! 3 1/2 months to take in as much as I can, armed with little more than my camera, laptop and a few dodgy Spanish phrases.
