I had a lovely lie in this morning and didn’t get up until around 9am. I chilled a bit at the hostel after having a leisurely breakfast.

Caro and I spent the day together. We were going to get the number 10 bus to the Patagonia brewery but it was full when it got to our bus stop so it drove straight past. We got on the next bus that took us some of the way but we were still around 5km away so we started to walk. On the way we went past a hotel that had been burnt and was now abandoned. Its such a shame as the views from the hotel were gorgeous.

As we were walking along the road a bus came so we flagged it down – luckily it stopped even though we weren’t at an official bus stop.

We got off at the brewery and again the views were stunning. It was a bit of a sunshine and showers day so some of the photos don’t show how beautiful it looks in the sun. We ate lunch at the brewery, a typical picada dish of cheese and meat (lamb, chorizo and blood sausage) with homemade fresh bread. The beer is brewed on site and we had the original craft beer which was delicious.

After lunch we started to walk towards Colonia Suiza which is a small Swiss village with market stalls. As we walked we tried to hitchhike and a guy stopped to pick us up and dropped us a short distance from the village.

It was a really cute area and mainly sold arts and crafts and food. I bought a mate tea mug with a straw.

We wandered around for a bit and then made our way to another brewery – Berlina where we tried a couple of variety each of their craft beers. Again, it was all very tasty.

Tonight I just chatted with some of the people at the hostel and had an earlyish night.
