13th - 14th April Colonia

A 1.5 hour bus trip took us to Colonia. We settled into our hotel and we set off to explore the town. Very quaint old town settled in the 1700´s. We visited the oldest church in Uraguay and the city gates and what is left of the wall that would have surrounded the city. It was a very cold and windy day. We ended up going to the shops and buying some beer and a bottle of Dunbar whiskey. That night we drank and played cards in the common room of the hotel.
14th Lovely sunny day we wandered around the town and took a few photos in the sunlight. We had a BBQ for lunch at the hotel for Gui´s 33rd birthday and spent the rest of the day on the rooftop terrace playing Canasta with Dawn. Left at 6pm for the ferry to Buenos Aires. Was a rather smooth trip over the brown murky waterway. We went out on deck for a little while and it was interesting to see all the channel markers in such a huge expanse of water. It must have been a narrow channel as there were huge ships passing very close by.
