A last country before Christmas

We spent five days in Uruguay (see Eleonore's blog in Spanish!) we could definitely come back for more!

First stop in Colonia del Sacramento, a pretty colonial town, a ferry ride away from Buenos Aires, across the Rio de la Plata

The weather is not great but the streets are still very atmospheric

View from the lighthouse

Mate for everyone!

A beautiful sunset over the river

Homework at the very cute hotel and at a very British like tea shop

Then on to the capital city, Montevideo, It is very sleepy and not particularly beautiful, apart from some nicer areas

Museum of carnaval!

At a trendy restaurant

What was once the tallest building in South America

The main square, with a mix of nice architecture and ugly 60s brutalist architecture… another cute little square with fountain and antique market

Homework always, at another cafe

Our fabulous Airbnb (see Raphael's blog) at the beach in Punta del Este, with indoor and outdoor pool, gym…

Home cinema (we watched E.T. and Miracle on 34th street) and beach!

Despite all that, we still manage to do some homework! We also enjoy the beach of course

Making our Xmas video on the left

A last look at our favorite ice cream chain in Argentina and Uruguay: Freddo, with 8 different flavours of dulce de leche!!
