I would love Colonia del Sacramento
I can see from your photos and also from reading your blog that I would love Colonia del Sacramento. It will probably be a few years until I make it there though. It is far to South America from Europe. /Ake

It is a small but interesting place. Yes I can understand, from Europe you'll have to plan a long trip if possible so you can visit 3 or more countries.
