In Colonia
del Sacramento, cool cobbled streets dive down out of the sun's penetrating
gaze. It is easy to see why this is the most visited area in Uruguay; vehicles
from the 40's and 50's sit parked in bright oblongs of sunlight, while veteran
cannons keep a look-out over the Atlantic from the Colonia defence.
Just down
the coast Montevideo, described by some as the 'Monaco of South
America' is a trendy city with casinos, restaurants, bars and a port gleaming
with the bows of expensive yachts. With an expansive, wild mainland and a
picturesque coastline, Uruguay has a lot to offer the wind-blown
wanderer or the sight-seeing photographer and those who fall in-between.
