Confusing Colonia

Colonia Del Sacramento, Uruguay Olivia at the Porton De Campo So since spending our last day in Auckland , we have hopped on a plane, gone back a day (yes I feel like a time traveler) and arrived in Buenos Aires .

The Sea Day two: Dropped at the port to do the 'cool island hopping', Albino is shocked by prices, trip costs same as 1 week's accommodation for one person to take one trip. Albino's acco...
