Day 25: 10 September 2017 – Iguazú, Argentina – Asunción, Paraguay

It rained really heavily during the night, continuing into morning hail and more rain, so I couldn’t take Caroline to the Guira Oga rehabilitation centre. Instead we spent the morning in the cabin, planning, packing, etc.

Had lunch in a pizza restaurant in Puerto Iguazú where Caroline had a delicious sticky banana pancake worthy of a lifetime memory. The pic below was taken in the evening!

Not the town’s finest restaurant, but Caroline’s pudding was great

We dropped off the rental car and took a taxi to the Rodoviaria (international bus terminal) in Foz. This time we whizzed through the various customs and immigration posts, and after a couple of hours waiting in the Rodoviaria boarded the bus for Asunción, Paraguay.

Once on the bus, two more immigration posts (very straightforward again, and our third country in a couple of hours) followed by a six hour bumpy bus ride to Asuncion. Once there we took a taxi to the Hotel Danieri – very swish.

Not much of a day really, what with filthy weather and the need to get from A to B. We have an early start ahead of us tomorrow as our guide Oscar (Rodriguez) had arranged to pick us up at 05.45 but at least we have comfy beds.

A comfy night before we start our journey.

Tomorrow the wilder part of our trip starts, and this will likely be the last soft bed for a while.
