Uruguay

Yesterday morning we walked around Colonia and really enjoyed it. The town is quite small, yet we missed alot of the historical part the day before. It's a UNESCO site with lots of information about the ruins of the old town, giving you a sense of what it used to be like, switching hands frequently between the Spanish and Portuguese.
We stopped for coffee at a place that looked nice but was a complete rip off. We haven't quite adjusted to doing quick conversions from Uruguayan Pesos, and ended up paying £25 for 2 ice coffees and 2 tarts. We only realised afterwards and were livid!
We then took a 3 hour bus to Montevideo which felt super fast. These days, after the bus to Iguazu, 3 hours on a bus feels like 5 minutes 😆.
We went for a very nice dinner in Montevideo - which cost less than the stupid coffee! We're enjoying the laid back atmosphere here in Uruguay. Walking around feels very safe and we're looking forward to starting tomorrow with a classic walking tour!Read more
