This parrilla has existed since the spaniards were fighting the portuguese over Colonia back in the 17th century, nonetheless the name got lost in the IWCRP archives, which are larger and more chaotic than the ones in Sevilla. This is a unisex WC, the only one in the establishment. Unisex WCs are usually a terrible idea, since the ladies will encounter liquids on the seats and the gentlemen will have to stand in line for hours. At this establishment, however, the problem was solved in the most logical manner, namely by not having any guests.

Some parrilla, Colonia
This parrilla has existed since the spaniards were fighting the portuguese over Colonia back in the 17th century, nonetheless the name got lost in the IWCRP archives, which are larger and more chaotic than the ones in Sevilla. This is a unisex WC, the only one in the establishment. Unisex WCs are usually a terrible idea, since the ladies will encounter liquids on the seats and the gentlemen will have to stand in line for hours. At this establishment, however, the problem was solved in the most logical manner, namely by not having any guests.
Nuevo San Cono
A brilliant bar & parrilla, this one, by far our favourite in Colonia. Some fantasticly funny pictures of Diego Maradona with the owner and some other petrified people on the walls. Good, cheap beer and a general happy feeling. The first two pics are from the ladies' room; thanks to MJ for risking her life.
Hotel Rivera, Colonia, Uruguay
A nice hotel in a nice little town. This one costs $750 uruguayos for a double incl. breakfast and typically horrendous uruguayan coffee. No country in the world has more disgusting coffee than Uruguay.
Bar, Colonia, Uruguay
This was the last bar the IWCRP delegation visited that night, and the name of the bar is thus forgotten. The gin & tonic was made of gasoline, soda and lemon, and therefore, for the first time in history, a drink was left on the table upon departure.
El Drugstore, Colonia, Uruguay
.
As the IWCRP delegation was refilling after visiting the Drugstore WCs, a foreign citizen came and sat down at a table nearby. On noticing his lack of knowledge of the spanish language, the waitress offered him a menu in English, an offer he politely turned down. IWCRP went outside for a cigarette in order to get the digestion going, and shortly after the foreign citizen came outside as well, with the waitress, and started pointing at some pictures of food on the wall. Much easier than getting the english menu.
