Day’s 204 & 205. Friday 21st & Saturday 22nd March. 2025. Camping La Postergada, Paysandu. Uruguay.

Friday. Relaxing is taxing…but something we are enjoying immensely. There’s a gene that’s saying, “what next,” but also one saying, “Nah! this is wonderful”. Before departing on his motorcycle trip in the morning with Paige, the owner, Gerardo entrusted us with feeding his three dogs and enjoying the pool. Patricia,…

Day 202. Wednesday 19th March. From Camping Queguay to Camping La Postergada, Paysandu. Uruguay. 25 miles or 40 k’s.

Despite the traffic noise from the motorway 200m away, we slept well, not rising till 8am and finished a leisurely breakfast by 10am. On the road by midday but not before Jen spotted a long green snake disappear into a drain close by to where we were camped. Certainly the…

Day 200. Monday 17th March. From Salto to a Thermal Pools and Hotel complex. 41k’s. South East. Uruguay. 26 miles or 41k’s.

To try and spin out the next couple of weeks, we are stopping at as many campsites as possible, between here and Montevideo, to reduce the time needed in the city, before shipping. Last night, while in a deep sleep, we were woken by rain on our faces at around…

Day 198. Saturday 15th March. From Concordia, Argentina to Salto, Uruguay. 27 miles or 43 k’s.

in the absence of anywhere to camp last night, this hotel was a solution. As Jen said, they claim three stars but that is hugely inflated. Breakfast, which was included, consisted of a small wicker basket of pieces of cold toast but with a tasty croissant. A knife made out…

Day 196. Thursday 13th March. From Encarnacion, Paraguay. to Alvear, Argentina. 166 miles or 267 k’s.

Do you think we could find our way out of Encarnacion this morning!!! Population, 138,000. Neither the Sat-nav or Google maps could do it for us. Up and down blind streets, etc. We could see the long bridge across the river, connecting the two countries but had to rely on…

Day 194. Tuesday 11th March. From Hotel Pilar Plaza, Pilar to Posada Maria, Trinidad. Paraguay. 212 miles or 341 k’s.

We have a brand new key ring for Poki’s keys. Wee Guillermo, Gustavo and Patricia’s 7 year old son, presented me with it. ‘I Love Paraguay’ and a big red heart in the middle. It will be a permanent reminder of the pleasure of meeting the family last night. Guillermo…

Day 192. Sunday 9th March. From Hotel Tropicana, Paraguari to Hotel Pilar Plaza. Pilar, Paraguay. 192 miles or 308 k’s.

It was overcast, when pulling the curtains back, this morning. It turned into heavy rain by lunchtime. We have been trying to get a handle on Paraguyan life and structure. There is clearly something here that is attractive to dissidents, or those wanting to escape rigid political structures. You would…

Day 190. Friday 7th march. 2025. From Haasienda, Pirayu, to Hotel Cecilia, Asuncion. Paraguay. 72 miles or 115 k’s.

Our first night sleeping in Poki for some time now. It’s brilliant, but still, at only! 25 degC, too hot for comfort. Waking at 5am to see what progress the storm approaching the east coast of Australia is making. My son Steven, lives in Lismore, Northern New South Wales, and…

Day 188. Wednesday 5th March. From Hotel Villa Quati, Fos do Iguacu. Brasil, to Hotel Sasha Kiara, Juan Emelio O’Leary. Paraguay. 50miles. Or 80k’s.

It’s going to be another scorching day. No hurry to leave the hotel so we enjoy a hearty breakfast and are leave the hotel by 10am. Border crossing. The border with Paraguay is reached in 10min. It’s chaos. Half of Brasil is crossing to do their shopping. There are very…

Day 186. Monday 3rd March. Hotel Villa Quati, Fos do Iguacu. Brasil. Sightseeing day. No miles.

Another early start. Up at 6am for a 7am pick up from the hotel. We are going to spend most of the day visiting “The Falls”. On queue the van arrives and we are two of thirteen, but a family of five Paraguayans, three children and two adults were eventually…
