After late ferry we've got to Colonia.
This is the nicest town Ive been during all my trip.
In here I can relax after Buenos and that big city rush.
Yeah
Colonia del Sacramento, in Uruguay's province of Colonia, was the only Portuguese settlement along the Rio de la Plata.
Founded as Nova Colonia do Sacramento in 1680 by Manuel de Lobo, it was the focus of struggle between the Spanish, who founded the settlement at Montevideo in response, and the Portuguese over control of the area.
For years it operated as a contraband port, evading the strictures imposed on trade by the Spanish crown.
When we get to Colonia, only thing we had in mind was bed.We didn't sleep very well last night though.
Well it was Dave's birthdays so well we had a PARTY:))
Get drunk a bit, just a littttle bit hehe.
<----------Colonia's Harbour
Built in Portuguese style of houses and cobble stoned streets, the historic portion of Colonia is reminiscent of old Lisbon.
Winding streets and colorful houses are laid out in a pattern different from Spanish colonial cities, and a delight to explore.
I was exploring this little village for about 3 hour es. And that was enough.
