Home, sweet home
A few hours short of seventeen days, and we’re back in our own home. A cold beer has been cracked, a first load of laundry has been started, and our bed is waiting.
Aboard the ferry to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay

We’re having lunch at the bus terminal in Montevideo, Uruguay, waiting for a bus to Colonia del Sacramento, which will transfer us to a high-speed ferry to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Buying the ferry tickets online was a challenge I found far too overwhelming. Even when I could read the website, I’d get through all the … Continue reading Taking the bus-ferry combo from Montevideo to Buenos Aires
