Asuncion, Paraguay

Paraguayan feast

sunny -17 °C

Got a 2 hour bus back to encarnacion and were absolutely covered in orange dirt that was flying in through the windows of the road into the beaten up bus. I was sat next to a girl who taught me a novel way to eat an apple. First you bite off a chunk, chew it for a bit in your mouth and then spit out the skin into your hand and lob it out the window!

So after another 5 hour bus ride we arrived to Asuncion. After checking in to a hotel we headed out for dinner looking like we had been literally dragged here. Chris looked like a starving street kid with his ripped orange clothes and then somehow accidently managed to order himself a plate of tomatoes for dinner, whilst Fin ate a plate of tongues! Being a vegetarian means most days I have no choice but to eat cheese and bread, so my veggie lasagne was warmly welcomed.

After dinner we were invited to join a group of paraguayan guys for a beer. They were hilarious and spoke some English too, they were repeatedly chanting ´God save the Queen!´ They even gave us a lift home after spinning around the block a few times listening to The fugees and Jamiroquai and have invited us out tomorrow night. should be interesting!
