Arrived in Cuiaba - The gateway to the Pantanal.... and finally an airport pick up that actually arrived... YAY, we´re off to a good start!!
A pleasant town divided in to 2 parts, the old and the new separated by the river Cuiaba
Staying in what initially looked like a rather Bohemian hostel... hammocks, central garden courtyard, lots of memorabilia around the place and a eccentric but friendly owner.
Spent the first night being taken out by the owner for food and beers with the locals. Very enjoyable !!
Breakfast the next day on the table looked light but pleasant - on clearing the plates to the kitchen, seeing where this scram had come from was enough for the stomach to turn - meat and cheese on plates hidden under a tea towel, dirty pots and pans everywhere and kitchen covered in flies.
Starting to think eccentric would be a euphemism for insane
Non the less a roof over our heads prior to our big expedition to the brazilian wetlands.
...Ready for our 4 day trek!!
