If we had not flown to Paraguay I think I may have thrown myself off of one of the 250ft cliffs we'd have had to have gone over. It took just 12 minutes to fly on TAM from Cochabamba to Santa Cruz, in the south of Bolivia on route to Asuncion. But the bus....15 hours... can you believe that.. well the mountains are insane!
Instead of the three day trek over the mountains, we decided on the easy route. Two hours in the air to the capital, also in our favour was three weeks on intense cold. So with a lack of good buidget accomodation, I managed to find a suite in a nice neighbourhood hotel for a great price, roof top swimming pool and 80's syle gym included! We got there on a Saturday evening so everything was closed, but we managed a fantastic local steak dinner and a bottle of rum from the korean market was only $3.... so it went well.
Didnt do much, other than lounge... take in the view from the balcony and pool and spend monday messing around with HSBC, global is not their thing.... and looking at the stunning buildings and railway stations built for a time gone by.....aventure was beyond Asuncion.
