Hotel Italiano Colonia del Sacramento

... cross the road tea leaf sprays goo on your trousers. You eventually notice and him being the good samaritan (because we really know that samaritans are bad) takes us by surprise and helps to wipe down trousers whilst also relieving the unaware of the burden of weighty wallet. Heidi - blame wife in between time for some how spraying husband with shampoo..... hmmm would adopt scam myself but stealing my own money is less ...

... brown water! Boy, have we been spoiled with the Bahamian clear blue waters!<br>Uruguay was a nice change from Buenos Aires. It was clean and quiet and very picturesque! We had heard that the sunsets on the dock was the best and should not be missed. As we sat on the dock with our 2 dog ambassadors, I do have to agree that the sunset was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.

... cross by ferry to land in Buenos Aires. Our pousada is a delight. The old town is magnificent and quaint and though there are tourists, most of them are Argentinian or local day trippers. We eat lunch at a charming little joint called "El Drugstore" which has old 1930s fords sitting outside some of which you can actually dine in.<br><br>We continue walking around the old historic area and lighthouse and after an ...

... a nice quite town with some interesting sights but not a whole pile to do. We saw some dinasaur remains in one museum which were pretty cool. One of them was an ancient relative of an armidillo, feckin thing was huge as tall as me and twice as wide (I know thats seriously wide)we walked around for a while but had enough of it after one day so headin to Montivedio which is the capital today lets hope theres lots to do there. The countdown to oz has begun 11 days and counting.

... sunbathe and we started to feel like we were cooking so we had to give up and head back to the hostel. We were not prepared for the sight when we got back - we were burnt!!! That would´ve been fine except we were mainly burnt on our faces. To top it all off I had been wearing sunglasses all day so I looked like I was wearing some kind of super-hero goggles. I´m glad there was no small children staying in the hostel, they would´ve been traumatised for life after ...

After spending an entire day on a bus (not so bad as it was raining anyways) from one end of Uruguay to the other, we arrived in a beautiful little town called Colonia del Sacramento. The first night we went out for a much deserved proper dinner after over a week of pasta and rice at Karumbe. We enjoyed having dinner by ourselves for a change. We had some wine, I had ...

... has a neat chill-out vibe, which I liked very much. I put on my swim trunks with intentions of cooling off in the pool, but upon closer inspection, it looked a bit scuzzier than I originally thought. I considered dipping my feet in the water, but they're all cracked and painful, which always happens when I travel, and I didn't want to risk that dirty water giving me gangrene and resulting in my feet getting amputated! Instead, I ...

... impressive, even compared to European ones. But perhaps I only thought this because I wasn't expecting a cathedral of this calibre in South America. <br><br>The interesting fact about this cathedral is that is was constructed between 1885 and 1999, but it actually needed to be restored in 1997, before it was even completed! Unfortunately, it wasn't as impressive on the inside, as it was on the outside. <br><br>We walked past the Casa ...

... loads of trees around, so it looked very green too.<br><br> <br><br>We had a good look around, which didn't take long because it's quite a small town, but it's a good size after staying in a metropolis like BA. <br><br> <br><br>By now it was ...
