Caught the mid day ferry Colonia Express. Terminals were quite modern but ship was a lot smaller than expected and quite cramped seating. However with a journey time of 70 minutes you can put up with it. Similar distance as for Larne to Stranraer but with no vehicles. Lots of travellers joining buses at port to go to Montevideo.

Arrived to Radisson after short taxi ride. Nice hotel in good location with river views, though obscured by palm trees. Surprised to find a sandy beach beside hotel and more around the bay.

Went down for lunch in hotel which was good and then out for 2 hour walk around the suburbs. Quite hot so back to hotel for indoor pool and jacuzzi. Quite small and a strange layout but relaxing.

Decided to eat in hotel. Big mistake both meals were awful... As was the Uruguayan red and white wine. Ah well.
