Buenos Aires Part 2, Colonia Del Sacramento, Montevideo and Punta Del Este

Hey everyone

Still alive and haven’t been robbed this week. 

We did go the last days in Buenos Aires to Palermo and a Tango show/dance class which has been a great evening.

Botanic Garden

Cemetery 

The Building has been a theater before someone opened a book store inside

On Sunday we left to Uruguay and started our trip in Colonia Del Sacramento. A stunning village with an old city center and a small lighthouse. The atmosphere invites to get an ice cream or just sit down in a cafe and enjoy the view on the ocean. 

The lighthouse build inside of an old castle

Bullring which you are not allowed to enter but...

We then left to Montevideo which is basically a big city but not a must do:

After Montevideo we headed to Punta Del Este which is the most expensive and exclusive place in Uruguay but definitely not a must do. The beach is nice but there are better places which are cheaper:

La Mano

We are now in Punta Del Diablo which is fantastic but will write more next week.

Hope everyone is doing well

Rosario & Buenos Aires

Hey everyone,

So after Cordoba I went to Rosario which is supposed to have a similar flare than Buenos Aires but is smaller. I would disagree with that. I think Rosario has a chilled atmosphere especially when you are with someone. The promenade is beautiful and invited to enjoy a coffee or a beer. 

Buenos Aires is a big city. Parts of it have a nice flare as the district La Boca. Furthermore it has some nice sightseeing but I wouldn’t compare the both cities. They are simply different. 

Most important about Buenos Aires though is that Franziska joined my travel for the coming 4 weeks!!!! 🍾🎉😍

Here some impressions of Rosario:

This is the place Che Guevara was born

Reminds a bit of Washington 



The statue, the highlight of Rosario unfortunately being restored

We didn’t see all of Buenos Aires yet:

Congress 

Obelisk 

La Bomba (drum Show)

Puente de la Mujer

Estadio de Boca

La Boca District (very colorful buildings everywhere)

And Art everywhere as well

Everywhere

Buenos Aires is a big city which always means there is crime. Unhappily we got robbed in San Telmo but we are fine and only lost some money which isn’t a big problem. Still wasn’t a pleasant experience.

Furthermore I did a short stop at Tandil between Rosario and Buenos Aires to visit my friend Santiago. We had a great time and it was a pleasure staying at his house. Nice BBQ

Hear you soon
