Colonia del Sacramento

Highlights:
- We stayed at a hotel with an indoor pool which we made the most of
- Beautiful streets and a lighthouse that we wandered around and took plenty of pictures
- Nice to visit Uruguay even for a short time, and really interesting to see their culture of drinking mate - everyone walked around with a special cup with a straw that was filled with herbs and a thermos filled with hot water
- Walking down the beach and to the pier (cold weather though!)

Lowlights:
- Josh was particularly grumpy when we arrived as he wanted to stay in Buenos Aires, and it's more expensive in Uruguay (thankfully he cheered up when he saw how pretty it was!)
- Josh's Tevas finally gave up on him and split apart

Food and drinks:
- We had the best alfajores so far, the dulce de leche was so thick!
- Some yummy empanadas, including a sweet one filled with dulce de leche and nuts (I hope you can tell how obsessed Argentina and Uruguay are with dulce de leche from these posts!)
- Pomelo is really popular here, we got some nice drinks!Read more
