Colonia, Uruguay

currently in uruguay. this keyboard is really crap so mind the spelling.
Anyway, left Santiago 1o am yesterday morning, arrived buenos aires at 11am the next day...twas a long ride, stopped at the boarder for 4and a half hours , just coz there were so many ppl. >Ended up playing uno with an Isreali guy named Gil in the super strong winds in the Andes. It was great. The bus meal was the worst yet, chicken stuffed with egg on cube veggies ,worse than the watties kind, with rice, and ofcoarse ham and cheese, the popular food here. ...not my favourite to say the least. I slept most of the trip but Katrina had an interesting ordeal trying to explain that the roof was leaking to the spainish drivers, who refured to acknowledge a problem. She sat up front with them until they fixd it. So arrived, then couldnt find an atm, finnally did and then got breakfast of coffee. Left to find the ferry terminal , finnaly did. then got a ferry a few hours latter for Colonia, Uruguay . We were going to go the Barriloche in Argintina but it ended up to expensive and impossible to get to before meeting nicky on thursday in Buenos Aires. Then we were gonna go to Mendoza, argintina, the wine district, but again simular problems, so just got on a bus to Beunos Aires.

Its so amazing here in Colonia, the roads are all cobblestone and everyone is either on a moped, motorbike or scooter. The beach is beautiful, its a shame that the water is brown and gross. Along the beach there is a market in the old racing sheds, and a huge carnival that as of yet is not open, must just be weekends.
>Got a huge feed of pizza and whiskey for dinner. the best meal yet, south america doesnt cater well for vegetarians funnily enough. Gonna go shopping to mo for a day dress and handbag so we dont have to carry our pack around and look like the ignorant tourists that we are.

The line for the internet is growing so ill leave now.
