What this video covers

Marina and Michel spend three days in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, timed to celebrate Michel's parents' wedding anniversary in the city where Michel's Uruguayan father grew up.0:26 The stay centers on Casa Cálida, a large property run by hosts Maria and Daniel, whose grounds include a converted stable now housing Daniel's private collection of vintage cars — among them a 1975 Lotus and a six-cylinder Rolls-Royce-style vehicle with a four-point competition harness.2:25 Daniel leads Michel on a personal tour of the collection.2:33 The port on the Río de la Plata is open to public foot traffic, a contrast Marina draws explicitly with Brazil's restricted marina access; docked there is a Fest 310, the same model as the crew's previous boat, Munchumi 2.5:42 The city's historic center shows fused Portuguese and Spanish colonial architecture, and the visit coincides with rehearsals for the Uruguayan carnival (candomblé), described as one of the world's longest at roughly 40 days.6:42 A golf-cart tour covers the compact old town.6:56 Marina notes Colonia del Sacramento is small enough to see in two to three days and recommends Casa Cálida specifically for its warmth, antique furnishings, and direct host hospitality.7:03
