On the road again, I´m so glad to be back on the road again.

Ahoyhoy,

We are back on the road again! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!

The parts fitted, even the pinky/orange rear sproket with the hearts milled into it!

The chain need two linke taken out but by 12.45pm we were tarmac bound heading for the border. Thanks Automoto Suzuki in Campo Grande.

Once i´d bypassed the com system by plugging my helmet straight into the satnav we were back in the 80s and making up the miles. I´ve stopped for the night just on the Brasilian side of the border with Paraguay at Punto Puna and tomorrow I enter my penultimate country to visit on the trip, that will be twelve down and one to go!

To catch up with a couple of photos that I couldn´t upload earlier. The snails here are more than a tad bigger than our native boys.

Every car or bike has some reference to good old Jesus but I did particually like with front mud guard juxtaposition with the big guy and Hugh Heffner.

Did I mention my hotel where I have encamped for the last 4 nights is owned by an artist and not a bad one. If only they had artfully cleaned my room once in four days.

Last night I went with Kelly to his english class but not before bidding farewell to the AGETRAN inspectors.

Then it was onto the university via Lover´s Lake (stop that!) where there was a group of Capybara munching grass in the night. Very cool critters. 

At the English class I had my second taste of being a talking novelty for those keen, and some not so keen, to learn. I really enjoyed it again. Surpride surprise, me enjoying talking near non-stop for two hours with a captive audience. Who´da thought it?

I must say thanks to Kelly for being such a wonderful host whilst I´ve been trapped in Campo Grande.

On the way today I finally, having failed many times thanks to Sir Humphrey´s exhausts, managed to photograph an Ema or what I guess is actually a Rhea and I missheard the truck driver who told me.

So here we are, back on the road and about to head through Paraguay towards Foz de Iguazu and the amazing waterfalls there. I´ll be back!

TTFN,
