... the palace with their numerous mistresses and the resulting tens of children...<br><br>Except on the main street of the old town, where it's possible to meet a few tourists, we were alone all the time. It's a quite strange feeling, but that too is part of Paraguay! For lack of time we didn't stay long and we left Asunción after only two nights, but the bed was super incomfortable and there were giant cockroaches and aggressive mosquitoes in the room, so it was the best thing to do. :)<br><br>

... politie agent, maar de straatverlichting werkt slecht en toch voel je je niet helemaal veilig. Over straat lopen kunnen we wel, geen idee of het verstandig is. Wat zullen wij rijk zijn in hun ogen. En dat zijn we ook. Weer die koloniale gebouwen, pracht en praal, aan keurig aangelegde parken. Maar als je goed kijkt zie je de ellende die zich in de parken afspeelt. Een paar tentdoeken als huis, waslijnen vol met babykleertjes, de grote plastic zakken vol met blikjes voor het ...

... books stated (more than asked) "STUDENT!(?)". To which I smiled and nodded and that seemd to leave him content. he passed me aside and continued with his search.<br><br><br><br>We finally stopped for food at around midnight that evening in a small nondescript town (all small towns in Argentina look the same - a small grid of roads with a main plaza and a good lashing of religious statues and monuments celebrating one of a choice of 5 military commanders. (The more colourful ...

... but the line was 160 meters long and 500 meters high. It was really good fun! Charlie got stuck half way on the last line and had to be rescued by one of the guides, which she had to buy a beer for afterwards. we had one other free day in Salta, Charlie went into town shopping with the girls and Jim stayed by the pool and chilled out. The next morning we were up packing the tent down in the dark and had another 3 long drive days with a free camp and a ...

... bus was leaving at around lunchtime, and we would arrive in Asuncion at around 8 the next morning, the bus in all fairness was fine, except we had seats right at the back that would not recline as much as everyone elses, no wonder they were the only ones left on the internet when we booked it! The journey went fine, the food was ****, but what do you expect in cama economico! By around 6am ish we arrived at the border crossing, we had already gone a hell of a long ...

I just read that someone was trampled to death outside a Wal-mart on "black friday"? Is this REALLY what our country has come to... come on people... Anyway, I also saw that Hillary Clinton is (probably) going to be the new Secretary of State. Thats pretty cool. So Paraguay. I move to the city in a week folks. That is unbelievably crazy to me. My whole group is leaving and I'm staying. Can any of you ...

... the city... CS never ceases to amaze me! Anyways, true to her word, Adri showed up and we took a bus into downtown Asuncion. From there she took me around seeing all these beautiful buildings and architecture, as well as museums, the cathedral, plaza de armas, palacio de gobierno, the river, etc. We had a great time walking around and had ...

... chlich - da ist so ein kleiner Schalter in der Wand, den man umlegen muss. Eigentlich sollte ich ja froh sein, dass ich ab sofort duschen kann, aber irgendwie fühle ich mich verarscht. Drittens: Ich war heute zum ersten Mal im Fitnessstadion, in das ich grosse Hoffnungen gesetzt hatte, weil es direkt beim Büro ist und ich für die Reise etwas trainieren möchte. Ich hätte es besser wissen müssen. Immerhin liegt es direkt über der Tankstelle. Das war mit ...

... lonely planet book was just a big white door on a street. No signs, no address, no name of hotel. if the soilder at the corner hadn´t pointed it out to us we´d never have known that was it. After a knock an old lady opened up and gave us an essay length speach within 10 seconds. We go the word manjana and the shaking of the head indicated she had no rooms till tomorrow. The same with the next place, all booked out. Strange as the entire city seemed like a ghost town, maybe ...
