After breakfast at our hotel, we checked out and headed for the bus station. We considered taking a taxi, but decided a $4 dollar taxi ride was a little steep for our blood, so we walked over a mile with our heavy backpacks to the station. We ended up catching an earlier bus to Colonia, so that we could have some time to walk around there before taking our boat back to B.A. Colonia is an old Spanish colonial town in Uruguay. Most of the streets in the old parts are still cobblestone and most of the buildings have been kept up fairly well. This little town on the coast is gorgeous. It was great that we got about two hours to walk around there, but a whole day in Colonia would have been nice. We shared a final chivito (Uruguayan national sandwich) at a restaurant before going back to the port to go through customs and hop on the boat back to B.A.
