Uruguay for a day

Next Stop: Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay (March 29-30, 2011). We hopped over to Uruguay for a day while in Buenos Aires. It´s a quick hour catamaran ride from Buenos Aires (we traveled with Colonia Express) and a nice calm break from the bustling city.

Saw: Colonia was lovely, picturesque and romantic with cobbled streets and old cars, it really felt like a step back in time.








Stayed: El Viajero hostel. It was a nice hostel in a 19th century house located close to the historical part of town. The rooms and showers were good, no complaints about staying here. 

Ate: Besides enjoying some Sangria overlooking the waterfront, we were experimental and tried some local dishes....
Chivitas for two: a platter of steak, ham, cheese, french fries, russian salad, mixed greens all topped with 2 eggs sunny side up.It was good!
I can´t remember the name of this one, it was a meat roll of sorts, with veggies and egg cooked into it.
