An unexpected internet visit, but thought I´d quickly update everyone on the last week or so.... We left the beautiful coastline and have headed inland... almost over to the border with Bolivia and Paraguay. I´m now in the wetlands area, although a brief downpour is all we´ve seen so far. It is pretty hot and sticky though, and the mosquitoes are EVERYWHERE!!! My back and legs were just like a buffet for the bugs!
Have been doing some cool things though including fishing for piranhas (I got one and have the photographic evidence!). Tomorrow I´m going to some caves nearby where you can snorkel in lovely cool clear water.
I´m sort of settling into truck life a bit now. Everything has to be flexible... we´ve already encountered delays due to bridges being out, camps being closed and having a police escort (flashing lights and everything!) to take you to the next place.... and we´re only a couple of weeks in so far!
It´s good for me to hear that the weather is pretty miserable back home - adds to the overall feeling of smugness at being here!! Hard to believe it´s mid-summer here.
Thank you so much for your messages and emails. It´s been a very long day driving today and it really cheered me up to hear from you and what you´ve been doing.
I´ll get another post done soon, and hopefully some photos too.
In the meantime, take care.
All my love
Nikki xxx
