The ferry terminal in Colonia was equally shiny and new like the one in BA. We found a map posted on the wall and determined what direction we needed to walk to get to the historic district (not far from the ferry port). There were quite a few Buquebus buses waiting to take people on to Montevideo for those who chose that particular trip. David and I decided for a shorter day trip just to Colonia.
Colonia is a small town of about 27,000. The streets were all tree lined and well kept. (It would be quite attractive in the spring/summer months with the greenry). Next to the ferry terminal was a Visitor's Center with better maps and very welcoming staff who spoke excellent English and were exicited to welcome us to Uruguay. We felt quite welcome.
The waterfront was quite pretty.
There was a busy street cleaning crew out and the streets really reflected their efforts.
This was what was available at the Thrifty car rental place! We were marginally tempted, but decided to just walk around instead.
