Crossing Border At Colón / Paysandu - Tips Please.

[lucha54]

Anyone done this?
We've never been to Colón but heard it's nice. I also noticed that there's a convenient border crossing right there so I can get a new stamp.

- Where to stay in Colón?

- Is there any way to cross the border easily without driving? Bf's work car cannot go abroad but at least we can enjoy a visit to Colón (and anywhere cute nearby?) and then get me a stamp if it's not too much trouble up there...

- Worth checking out Paysandú at all?

Thanks in advance for any help! No sass please, and thank you!

I haven't crossed the border here for a while, but I have stayed at http://hosteriadecolon.com.ar, which is really nice. There is good river fish at restaurants such as http://www.colonentrerios.com.ar/viejoalmacen/ and http://www.chivachiva.com.ar (link not working for me, but crowd-sourced sites indicate people have eaten there recently).
