Jump down the bus and right in front of me was the tourist information center. Uruguay was really easy to travel I thought and superbly efficient if not expensive for South America.
If you read my previous post you would know I was running away from Casino in Montevideo. Tourist map and I spotted 2 casino within 3 blocks of each other ….. shit now I am really fucked …. Oh well
Upon scouting out the casinos I realized they were really small for a really small town. Colonia was a town no larger than 5 km long and 500 meters wide hence if you really wanted one could just walk everywhere.

So with a small casino that has only slots I was saved for a while (Slots ain my Poison) but did ended up donating 100 UGY to the Miss Kitty slot machine. Damn Captain and his Kitty ….
I made a new friend in the hostel, Pai from Brazil and she ended up behind my scooter that we rented for a day scooting around Colonia.

I made a new friend in the hostel, Pai from Brazil and she ended up behind my scooter that we rented for a day scooting around Colonia.
Scooter rental required a motorbike license so the hard and painful 1 year ( plus 1 year dawdling ) getting that license was worth it I guess.
The scooter was USD 25 per day and required either a credit card or a USD 400 deposit. I choose the USD 400 for I knew if I crash that bike it will be more than that.
Scooting around Colonia, we realized it could be done walking but a lot of the town was just houses upon houses. Other than the old town which was I think 300m by 300m there was nothing much to see but it was a nice quint place to zoom and just pass time for a day or two.

I was even starting to wonder why the town was even a UNESCO heritage. End of it we returned the bike 2 hours earlier than expected and the fuel that we tried to re pump to full do not even take 1 litre.
Poor gas station attendant barely press for more than a second and everything came spilling out again. Time get into Bueno Aires …..
