is all about Colonia

The river crossing is nearly over as we approach this jetty that protects the port area. The buquebus ferry docks, and we disembark.
We'd arrived in Colonia after crossing from Buenos Aires via Buqebus catamaran, and had much of the day to spend in Colonia.
This motorcycle, made by Suzuki is on display in the terminal. We will board the bus to Montevideo outside the terminal several hours later.
We set out on foot and walked around the area near the terminal.
The cobblestone streets remain as installed by the Portuguese in the 1700s.
We walked further into the town, appreciating the tranquility and beauty, as we encountered other tourists and local people.
Colonia is absolutely a gem, and I recommend the trip for any who are near. The best way is probably to boat over from BA early in the morning, then return to BA on the last boat back.
It is a beautiful town rich in the history of Uruguay.
There are many more museums, and sights there than reflected herein.
Lacking a plan or list of particular sites to visit, we were continually fascinated by the vistas and edifices, all exuding the rich history of the region.
