Just back from Colonia, we went over yesterday morning to do the visa thing again.

As ever Colonia was very pretty and peaceful. So we decided to shatter the noise with a moped. Pictures of me in my v dorky helmet to follow (thanks Liz).

We sped around, got a little chilly, ate, sped around a bit more and sauntered back to the port at ten to eight to check in for the 8:45 boat back... to find that we had missed it. It was ten to nine and we had forgotten that Uruguay is an hour ahead of Argentina (because Argentina no longer puts their clocks forward in Spring)...

ummm

That was an oversight...

So we wandered back into town and found a little hotel, slept, and headed back this morning.

We have all sorts of excuses, the most true is that the last two times we went to Uruguay the times were the same, so we just assumed... and there were precious few clocks in Colonia to disabuse us of our temporal inaccuracy.

We won't make that mistake again (largely because were not going to Uruguay again)
