So after unknowingly spending a night in Brazil, we made it to Punta del Diablo.
Small fishermen village, yes but in the guidebook, so very touristy, full of restaurants and cabanas... in summer the place gets packed with thousands of people. But it was off-season, and we were among the few tourists there, it was calm, a bright sunshiny day, slightly windy, perfectly cloudless.
We walked in the village, on the rocky shores, and then we made a larger walk to the north, into dunes and vegetation, reaching a beach and then coming back via the coastline. It was magnificent.
I was to find out that Piedad could not help being friend with all the dogs we met, and a white labrador followed us all the way.
We had lunch at a place called "El Viejo y el Mar", where we opted for the dish of the day: shark steak. My first shark, quite good, with a consistency similar to tuna.

Bon par contre, j'y crois meme pas que tu oses aller a Pau sans me prevenir, et que tu aies en plus l'outrecuidance de me le dire apres coup...
