Hola, time for another load of drivel, boasting and moaning for your eyes to look over!
As i write this, its 8.30 pm and the boys and i are chilling by the pool trying to organise the next leg of our journey... an impossible task despite our enormous understanding of spanish, our hatred for haveing to plan things is getting in th way ( like writing this instead).
We are now in Posadas, south of iguazu by about 5/6 hours and a whole lot less touristy (excellent!!) than our previous stops. A much smaller town than seen so far, yet still large enough for it to have everything, including a massive dam( which we will explore tomorrow).. oh and Paraguay (home of cheap electrical items and other general cheap tatt) is literally a quick bus journey over the river, something we also plan to do tomorrow. However we have not planned it.
If we get there pics will be up soon..... well, in about 2015, as argi internet is not the best.
The hostel is great, really chilled out with a central courtyard with pool smack bang in the middle. lonely planet is missing a trick not recommending this beauty. sadly the bar with views over the river to Paraguay is still being constructed, so off to the river front tonight to sample some of their drinking and eating culture.though i hope mainly the drinking side.
So what have we done here?? Wandering around seems to have become a past time for us, asking for directions from locals, then ignoring them and using our own judgment means that we can enjoy this past time even more. it really is fun, u should try it. Banks and shopping malls have been visited by us more than the local tourist office.. i think we are going wrong somewhere.
On one of our wanders today we went (eventually) to a Paraguay market to see some local arts and crafts from th other side of the river, a bit of culture and a hint of what we will see tomorrow. sadly all we saw was cheap electrical goods, cheap sunglasses and what look like stolen watches. now that is culture! i did learn one thing, sunglasses dont suit me, and i prob should not laugh at stalls holders wares.
i hope this has been fun for u, it has for me. there is so much more but i think this is long enough, and it is now 9 pm ,30 mins after i started, postcards never took this long to write.
