Border Hopping

Our second day in Buenos Aires was actually spent in a completely different country as we arranged a day trip to Colonia Del Sacremento in Uruguay after hearing good things about it. 1. Being because its a very nice place and 2. It's an opportunity to withdraw more US$ to exchange back in Argentina. 

We got to the ferry terminal, had another stamp put in the passport and boarded the boat at midday. The journey was about an hour long, so coupled with the hours time difference in Uruguay, we didn't arrive in Colonia until about 3. 

We took part in a short walking tour to the old part of the city. Apparently it's the oldest in the country. The buildings were small and made of stone, and the streets were cobbled. It was very picturesque. After the tour we walked up the Main Street where we were able to top up with enough dollars to hopefully see us through the rest of our days in Argentina. We then found a place to eat back in the old part of town. After this, we had another walk through town before trying to find the beach. After walking for about half an hour we decided it was too far and turned back. Instead, we sat on the harbour and watched the sun set. We then made our way back to the ferry terminal. Our boat back was late and we seemed to have to wait forever until we managed to board and get back to Argentina.

Eventually we may even see what Buenos Aires has to offer, but who knows.
