long time it's gonna feel like a new country and truth be told i've only spent a few days there and that country is uruguay uruguay yeah so it's just across the river literally across the river plate so we're going to be taking a ferry Buquebus here from puerto malero to colonia yeah i think it's just over an hour ferry ride on Buquebus oh so short yeah you know it's hilarious when i first came to south america i i was so cheap that i wanted to save a night on accommodation and they had an overnight bus from here to there it took probably like i don't know like between six to ten times longer and i probably saved about twenty or thirty dollars on the ticket and i didn't have to pay for a room so that was a little samuel jeffrey that was my mentality back then and those are the kinds of funds i had available for travel off back then well today we are taking the ferry and we paid for business class executive class i think it was only an extra six bucks so we're like let's see what this is about yeah exactly so we're going to take business class and we'll show you the whole journey also when we arrive we're going to the uh the town of colonia in the city of colombia colonial sacramento and we're going to be spending a few nights there so we'll probably share our first impressions of the city and maybe take you out for dinner as well sounds good let's get going we've got a fair catch well guys we made it we've checked out of argentina and into uruguay we're still in buenos aires argentina but we've already been stamped yeah we've done immigration at the terminal terminal we're waiting for the Buquebus boat to arrive and to embark we're gonna cross the uh here they don't say the river plate here they said uh they're gonna cross the pond the pond the pond the little puddle the little puddle we're gonna cross the one of the widest rivers in the world and this opening of the mouth the delta yeah but they still call it the little uh pond or the puddle and now as soon as we get to colonia we're gonna look for a uruguayan bbq parrilla and we're gonna have a nice piece of beef from uruguay and beef because i always talk in the videos how good the argentinian beef is best in the world but i always mention i always mention that uruguay bbq has the same quality of beef as argentina has so today we're going on a quest to prove that i wasn't wrong and my dad's been talking about the steak for days i have sex i have stayed my peace and your and your uh your digestive system is ready for it yeah my gut with the antibiotics is feeling a lot a lot better i'm ready for uh anything that the euro y can throw at me so we boarded Buquebus so business is full there are no seats together so you kind of have to go up to the tables and if you see a loose chair like can i sit here can i sit here so now i understand why everyone lined up yeah so quickly like why that stampede to get on yeah because otherwise you pay for business and you have nowhere to sit and yeah it's not that great we got a champagne we got a champagne so i'm going to take one over to my dad i think is that oh we we can purchase some food too you can buy some food let's let's cheers cheers with my dad's champagne cheers with your dad champagne and the dirt let's go get a lunch well good afternoon guys we have arrived to home sweet home for the next four nights here in colonia uruguay this place is really nice it's very peaceful cobbled streets tree-lined streets it's just very sleepy and quiet and going we've got a nice garden out back with a rose bush a rose tree nice patio area there's also a barbecue but for now we just arrived not too long ago we had a quick rest went to the super mario you have collies called beautiful collies as our neighbors oh collies the dogs yes we met beautiful dogs you had like they're long there's a moment where you didn't quite get what i was saying no you're talking like collard greens yeah i don't know we have collard greens um we have collies beautiful dogs yes we didn't film them but we're literally next door so we'll they're not guard dogs they're they're like give me pets gifts yeah give me pets and they were sniffing our groceries too did you think of the ride it was short huh yeah it's just an hour across i just was basically stuffing myself and filming i didn't find a place to sit which is all right because i had to film anyways but um yeah it's a short journey you just get on you know what you know what most people were doing they were actually shopping like there was a duty free there's a huge duty free and it was packed yeah it just packed the whole time people were just shopping like like there's no tomorrow that boat it kind of reminded me a little bit of like a dated casino the vibe okay you know with a kind of the had a bit of a gold vibe and then i could see that there was a bigger there was a bigger duty-free shop than there was actual places to sit and now we're gonna have a little bite because we didn't really have a proper lunch oh we picked up a wine we'll show you that later yep yep and yeah that's kind of the update maybe we'll do an apartment tour after we eat so the big update is we're going for steak tonight okay that has been confirmed more than once and we will not let you guys down we're going for steak at eight okay all right guys so we've decided to have uh a picada here a little snack before our our steak tonight we slice up somewhat some meat and cheese bread meat and cheese pretty classic some olives yeah we didn't really have lunch today so we're very got a little bit of wine yep we are having a jimenez mendez maximum expression of the terroir and this is a grape that we none of us has ever heard of yeah it's called arena no apparently it's a cross between cabernet sauvignon is a reserve to 2015. this wine has been in oak barrel from france and america for a month well cheers to trying a new wine and it's a logo it's a local production so there we go cheers cheers to that oh it's always always fun to try new new wines yeah it's very unique i'd say it's a nice one and it's strong it's it's it's a nice strong wine perfect for a salad here you know a heavy pasta with a good rich sauce yeah like i mean italian italian yeah and what did you guys what do you guys think of we've just walked a few blocks in the neighborhood you like it so far um it's so peaceful so peaceful huh very peaceful very tranquil quiet people are very nice they're very friendly we made a couple of new friends a couple of uh dogs dogs over there yeah like colleagues they're just standing outside the house and waiting for someone to come by and pet them you know they're not guard dogs for sure and they smell your grocery bag to see what's inside you know they stick their lawn they smell they smell the salami they smell the salami and the cheese yeah we haven't seen much of the town but tomorrow we'll let you know a little bit more when we go walking and exploring but we still have the we've got steak tonight so this will just be a snack and we're going to take you to a good steakhouse like we promised earlier on yes so cute so cute oh oh the salad and the steak has arrived we ordered the basil cut right yeah my dad and i are sharing the vasilo the porsches here huge are so much bigger than we were expecting this is my portion that's for sam yeah sam alone let's see i believe this is the salad this is the side salad guys it's like for a family for an army for an arm for a small army you know argentinian beef is really really good but euro-wide it doesn't stay behind okay they are like uh on par you know excellent excellent excellent excellent this is one of the top uh top-rated steakhouses here in colonia yeah we researched this place it's got like a kind of a family atmosphere friendly staff they brought our food quickly too very quick yeah yeah time for me to try it you guys have been raving about this so i have very high expectations oh yeah what do you think julia mean is fantastic and they cooked it to perfection really really tender i think the basil is the best cut though no i just have to mention this salad has a bit of everything onions tomatoes lettuce carrots beetroot rice potatoes it's so good what are we doing this is awesome what's wrong with us what's wrong with you he's a guilty part he's the one that insisted we couldn't take any more but ice cream with brownies and dulce de leche look at that guys dig in amazing very good very good huh but we're we're stuck that's 3 000 calories right there right there samwell it's up to you now well guys it is the end of the day we're back in the little apartment after a huge feast of a meal wow the dishes here are way bigger than we were expecting the portions like everything is sharing size yeah when you order a main dish it's for two people it's for two people that's right i mean uh the appetite of the people in this part of the world and the the amount that they can consume there was a table right next to us those six or seven guys they were eating like i mean full full portions individually each one and on top of that a liter of beer yeah another thing to notice in this little town of uh colonia is that when you're gonna cross the streets even the avenues that don't have traffic lights the cars when they see somebody going on the street will stop automatically okay and they will give you the right of way but in some of these other latin american countries you cannot just hop into the to the street and try to cross if the traffic is moving you will get run over they'll run you all for you pedestrian it seems like the drivers they have a sight on top of the steering wheel for pedestrians you know they put you on the site and they aim and they try to get you you know because there's something else you know like i mean you don't know how to jump but here we were amazingly surprised very encouraging very good another surprise today that i'll mention is when we went to the restaurant and it was time to pay i paid with a foreign card a foreign visa card and they discount the tax automatically like as a foreigner you don't pay tax the sales tax yeah here is called the eva yeah and it'll show it on the receipt yeah it removes the text it's a nice little town no it's a colonial charm yeah very charming tomorrow we'll properly explore yes there's like lightning and thunder happening outside hopefully that holds off and we get clear weather but if not umbrella anyways first impressions are very positive here yeah and uh we'll uh we'll share our adventures tomorrow let's call it a good night good night see you tomorrow you
