Ok so after dancing the night away we were starting to get a little tired on the boat journey to Uraguay. we managed to grab a little sleep but then headed onto deck to wake ourselves up. It was another beautiful day! When we arrived, we werent quite sure were exactly the Colonia town was so we got in a taxi...it was literally up the road, but never mind! Colonia is so pretty, it reminds me of Parati in Brazil. We strolled around the cobbled streets and...

It's scary to think that we have under a week left here! Where has the time gone! We've also realised that we still have a lot we want to do before we go! So the plan is to visit the Evita Museum today and then organise our trip to Uraguay for the day and Mendoza, which is situated to the west of Buenos Aires, towards chile.

All the animals either looked incredibly bored or had simply gone a little crazy. Take for in...

After a fair few days of walking around the shops, we are now bored of them and crave some touristy sites again! We decided on a trip to Recoleta Cemetary. Well it's a fairly strange experience. When you enter the area, it's as if you are in a mini town as there is row upon row of what look like small churches and grand houses. This was to be expected to some degree as the people buried here are past Prime Ministers, Generals and just the generally rich and...
