Uruguay

Uruguay welcomed me with a stunning sunset and immense calm. In the days that followed it nicely surprised me with a chilled out atmosphere, happy people and fairy tale places…
I walked the streets of Colonia del Sacramento, an old well preserved colonial town; been waiting on the beach of Punta del Diablo for fishermen to return from the sea with fresh fish and shrimps for my dinner; wondered over fairylike village of Cabo Polonio, the village inhabited by more sea lions than people and illuminated by millions of stars but no electricity during the night and yes, had the best stake ever in Montevideo, the capital.
