Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay

And just like that, we’re in country number 12 😱 And the only thing it took us was 1 hour on a ferry from Buenos Aires! Unfortunatley, we did not manage to get to see Gilles friend who lives in Uruguay at the Rio Plata (farm life sounds hard ☹️), but we were still quite happy to be in Colonia: What a picturesque little old town (hi cobblestone streets, it’s been a while!!) 😍 Even though we had initially planned to stay only one night, we noticed very soon that two nights will suit us much better so we can enjoy one evening to the fullest and explore the ruins of the old ford and the old streets and buildings the day after. By pure coincidence, we even run into Cédric again, a guy who was in our group in the Ecuadorian Amazon Jungle and had never crossed our path again until now!
Many gorgeous pictures, many mosquitobites (right through the jeans!! 😭), two amazing sunsets and a much money later (it is not a joke when people say Uruguay has german prices…) we’ve had enough of the little town and decided that it is now - very much to Alinas excitement - time for a BEACH!! 🤩 So we decided that we will once again travel 6.5 hours by bus to our sleepy little uruguaian beach town of choice to indulge ourselves on the only proper beach schedule there is: relaxing in the sun with a book in our hands and the sound of waves in our ears 🌴 ☀️Read more
