Estamos en Colonia del Sacramento
Colonia del Sacramento is a ye olde town in Urguay… it’s quite a picturesque place but gets very full of tourists… our pousada was very busy… and our time in Colonia definitely made it feel like we were back on the well-travelled backpacker (and tour bus) trail…
Being in Colonia is primarily about strolling the streets of the colonial old town, so like all good tourists we spent a few hours checking out the sights of the old town…
You can also climb up the lighhouse… something I’m glad we did as it was very relaxing at the top 🙂 There were also nice views 🙂
The other thing that all tourists do is stroll along the waterfront declaring ‘Look, I can see Argentina!’ or ‘Look, I can see Buenos Aires!’… Ok, so maybe such declarations were only made by PB, and myself once it became contagious!!!!
And finally, as no good destination is complete without a mention of either food or yes, you’ve guessed it – a BIRD!!!! Here is our bird snap in Colonia for all you bird lovers 🙂
Next stop… Carmelo…
Not quite the most famous street in Colonia, that would be:

Ha ha 🙂
Yes, we walked past this other very famous street several times day, as it was one block from where we stayed.
