Argentina to Uruguay and back again

Sunday - Argentina to Uruguay and back again

We took the 09.00 ferry to Colonia in Uruguay. We were advised to arrive an hour beforehand and were quite impressed with the speedy boarding procedure. The hydrofoil ferry was comfortable with large seats and fairly full. The trip took an hour and fifteen minutes, the tourist information girls were very helpful and gave us a map with suggestions of the order we should walk to see everything. Colonia was a pleasant town with interesting wide brick streets and shabby old colonial buildings plus some very old cars. We saw the sights and had a leisurely lunch back in the port area. Catching the ferry back was chaotic with huge queues and people not really knowing where to go, not just us!
