Colonia del Sacremento

Yesterday we had a delightful day in this historic town built in the 15th century.

We travelled across to Uruguay by batquebus (high speed boat) and spent a delightful day strolling round this remnant of a colonial past. We visited about 6 museums, all very small and specialised. eg. Portuguese house, Maritime, old tiles etc.

The old town is full of interesting little laneways that are great to walk round except for your feet on the cobblestones.

We had morning tea with fresh local pastries and lunch at an outdoor cafe where were joined by Lally, the restaurant tortoiseshell cat.

You will be pleased to know there were lots of friendly dogs and not a sign of rabied mongrels.

Sorry no photos but Internet connection is very weak.

I would have thought the cobblestones might have had a masseur effect.
Glad you haven't run into any rabied dogs, just a tortiseshell cat!

I hate walking on coblestones, especially in high heels.
