Colonia, Uruguay

---

We decided to head over to Uruguay for the day to a small colonial town, quite inspirationally named Colonia. We both realised that we knew pretty much nothing about Uruguay (and i admit probably know no more now!) but it was nice to get to another country even if just for the day. Colonia is just 50 mins by boat from Buenos Aires and is quite cute - cobbled stones and little houses but unfortunately a little touristy but I suppose that is to be expected! A highlight was the Indigenouse People Museum of Colonia which actually consisted of 4 rooms full of rocks that were supposedly used by Indigenous people in the area all those years ago. So that was an insightful 5 minutes spent. The rest of the town can easily be covered in a few hours and in the afternoon we headed back to Buenos Aires in time to get our bus for the 18 hour journey up to Puerto Iguazu
