colonia y montevideo
i decided to take a boat over to uruguay, (buquebus) and ended up in a little town called colonia. it is only an hour or so away, and all of the streets are cobble stoned,super small and windy. very cute. but there was nothing really to do there except for ride around town on the scooter, so i decided to head east to montevideo.
the city itself is boring, (especiallysince i arrived from bs as) but the people in my hostel were really awesome…and i ended up spending a few extra days there. it was also an interesting experience cuz none of the backpackers really spoke english ( most of the backpackers in uruguay at the time were from brazil or argentina). the ‘beach’ here is nasty…i have never seen an ocean look dirtier than a lake. but i still went in, because hey, a beach is a beach. but the water is so dirty, that going in the water meant risking a color change of your swim suit. haha too bad i did not realize this till after i got out. lying around on the shore was cool, since there was a uruguanian rock concert we were able to catch. i had no idea what they were saying but it was still fun to listen and enjoy the sun!
