Colonia

We rented a 50cc scooter at US$7 per hour, ignored the instruction to remain within Colonia city limits, and set off to wander eastwards along the coast.

Five to six miles east of Colonia this large pier extended several hundred metres into the river plate. Now derelict it had previously been used for the export of aggregates to Argentina.
