After a few mad last weeks and a couple leaving parties of sorts, we headed across the river on a boat. Landing in peaceful Colonia del Sacrimento we settled into the new a dramatically different pace of life from Buenos Aires (ie. cars actually stopped for you and peop
le gave you more than a few words of greeting at the bakery).
We spent a few days wandering amidst the colourful houses on the uneven cobbled streets, whiling away time at the riverside and on the harbour, clambering over sea flattened rocks and chatting up local fishermen to take home a nice big river fish.
The old town was charming with its colonial architecture and laid back feel while maintaining a bohemian modernism through its beautiful art galleries, trendy boutique restaurants and chill out beach bars.
Apart from the dreaded mosquitos which left me foaming at the mouth with itcheness like a rabid dog, Colonia was a charm.
