The ferry to Uruguay



The ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia, Uruguay, was very cool. The ferry crosses the Rio de la Plata. Boarding it felt like getting on an airplane since there was a border crossing involved. The ship is huge and is like a floating city with food, bars, shopping, mini-arcade, and other features. It takes a couple of hours to get to Colonia. I spent most of the trip with two Argentinians who at one point shared some ma-te with me. My guidebook says that you should feel honored if people share ma-te with you, but I think that statement is overblown because they drink it constantly.
