On the 2nd day here, a few of us nipped into Paraguay for a couple of hours. Mainly to get that extra stamp in the passport, the town you drop into is a completely crackers market, with the hustle and bustle atmosphere of Marrakesh's souks.
it was soooo slow getting back into Brasil
After a hot and sticky 14 hour truck day, we arrived in Bonito. A couple of chaps from the group chose to repel down into a sink hole (followed by the 70 metre climb back up the rope) but most of us chose to do the main activity Bonito is known for, which is to float down its clear rivers, snorkelling to see the fish as you go. We had a lovely day for the activity and once wrapped up in our wet suits (mostly for sunburn prevention I think), we paddled 1.5km up the river we would soon be floating back down (Rio Sucuri...sp?)Floating back down took about 45-60 minutes and was soooo relaxing. You aren't allowed to swim as it disturbs the river bed, which would spoil your visibility. Without that disturbance, we could see for 20-30 metres easily. Our boat didn't have any waterproof cameras on it but hopefully by the time I get to upload this, I can nab some pics off someone.
thanks for the pics Heather
The rest of my time here was spent mooching around the town (GREAT espresso), chilling out in the shaded hammock area and dipping in the pool.
