Before we changed bus we got stopped at a police checkpoint for 2 hours while they searched the bus. Great.
Apparently the bus came from Paraguay so while they checked everyones documents and searched everyones bags. They then checked all the luggage under the bus. One person got taken away for bringing a heap of black market t-shirts from Paraguay.
OK! so we're on our way again.
Get to the petrol station where we change bus, have some food, and wait. And wait. And wait.
A guy gets a call frmo the company saying the bus has broken down wiht a flat battery. Awesome. So we wait more and after a couple of hours it turns up and we are finally on our way.
Went to a big rodeo/fair on the first night and was really good. Some big country music singers there doing a concert and went on the ferris wheel (wow).
Met with Luciana frmo couch surfing the next day and she took me to her uni classes easter bbq which was good. Met a haep of people, ate delicious bbq, learnt some stupid card game called Ruco.
Off on Pantanal tour today to feed some mosquitos.
