The End of the Trip

So having managed to escape from the End of the World, we were determined to make the most of the last few days of our trip.  We had a great time in Colonia de Sacremento, in Uruguay, only a hour over the water from Buenos Aries, but a world apart.  

To recover from our Ushuaia experience, and because we liked Colonia so much, we stayed an extra night rather than dashing to another destination back in Argentina.

So we had a lovely couple of days pottering around the old colonial town and chilling out in various cafes and on the beach, which might not have been up to Brazillian standards, but was a welcome treat for us at the end of the holiday.

 

And then it was back to BA for a final day and night, staying  in a different district this time.  It was absolutely scorchio, hitting 35 degrees, so we took it easy and just pottered about various cafes and then later had drinks in some of the historic bars.  I particularly liked this one which had its own microbrewery.

 

To round off our final night we treated ourselves to an absolutely slap up meal at a traditional parilla, where the food was fantstic and came in huge quantities.  I didn't manage to capture the food on camera, but this is Chris clutching his stomach afterwards!!

After eating so much, we had to go a walk along the canal, which looked lovely at night. 

And that was basically that, the end of our trip.  However, I feel the need for a couple of round-up posts, so don't stop reading yet!
