After 2 weeks we are moving on from Montevideo to Buenos Aires. We love Montevideo and two weeks of language school has provided all 4 of us with a good start to the rest of the south american continent.

From Montevideo we booked a bus with COT to Colonia (3 hrs), looked around Colonia for some hours and then took the Buquebus ferry across the Rio de la Plata to Buenos Aires (1.5 hrs). It would have been better and probably cheaper to take the buquebus package...

Colonia is worth a visit. Well preserved 18th century houses, a history of 500 years and nice shops and cafes.

Arriving in Buenos Aires, a place with 15 mio people, immediately pushes the big city feeling upon you.
