There's No Room to do an Awkward Platypus on a Plane

Ok, so bear with me, as this is all in Spanish!

So I am now at my hotel for the night in Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay! I have survived the flights, and been fed a lot of plane food! We got to the hotel about 12.30pm local time (we are 5 hours behind England) and Ossy met us at the airport, where we piled 12 suitcases in a trailer and the 6 of us in the car. The car journey was kinda fun, mad roads, really old busses everywhere and the odd horse and cart!

Everything went smoothly and everyone is well.
We had showers and naps, and went out for 'lunch' at 4, and we have just got back! I think I just had the best burger ever! Its dark now (about 5-6ish?) as its winter, and it is a little nippy! We're off out to an all you can eat meat buffet thing in a couple of hours with Ossy, to get to know him a little before we embark on the 4-5hour car journey to QQH with him tomorrow!

It is finally starting to feel real! and after many years of wanting to come here it is starting to sink in that I am actually in Paraguay! I am so excited for the next 2 months! I think we are all going to sleep well tonight, somewhere where we can lie down that isn't an airport floor or doesn't involve turbulance!



Finally I have discovered that there are many 'awkward moments when...' on a Brazillian plane journey, but there is just no room to do the awkward platypus!

See you all in 2 months! Have a good one
