Laatste nacht in Brazilie
Maandag ochtend hebben wij de Pantanal achter ons gelaten en richting Bolivia gereden. Gezien onze eerdere ervaringen de grensovergang en het inklaren van de auto, zijn wij 's ochtens rustig vertrokken en hebben wij een hotel in Corumba, de grensplaats geboekt.

After spending an exciting afternoon (!) waiting for the local bus to take us to ...

After the soul destroying journey on the train across Bolivia we waltzed into Brazil wearisome but after a brief siesta we regained our excitement for travel and it dawned on us we had arrived in a new culture, a vast country and a new language. Our Spanish instincts which had become second ...
