19 February 2010, Colonia de Sacramento (Uruguay)
Colonia de Sacramento is a picturesque colonial town of Portuguese heritage. A great place to spend a few days enjoying the cobblestoned streets, and the beautiful surroundings. It is situated on the huge Rio de la Plata, across from Buenos Aires (which can just be seen on the horizon on a clear day).As we move on, we decide to take the night ferry across the river to Buenos Aires. As we are leaving the hotel in the evening, we glimpse at the TV running behind the reception desk: the evening news show pictures of a city with flooded streets, people walking up to their hip in water. The caption reads: "Live from Buenos Aires" - great, that's where we are heading to.
But a quick call to our booked hotel in B.A. confirms: that part of town is not under water, we don't need a raft to get to our hotel; a taxi will do.
