We arrived in Bonito just in time. We found the only place in the town with Sky TV, turned on the TV and saw Roger Federer against Andy... Roddick. Damn. Great final though. At least Federer was in it. It would have sucked to have got up at 4am and taken a 5 hour drive to see a Roddick vs Haas final. 
We stayed at a cool family run hotel. The family look after local orphaned children for a few days a week and we had fun playing with them when we were in the hotel. The weather was beautiful so we sat out in the sun in the open area outside our rooms. 

On our second day, we went to this private resort thing. It had a volleyball court, a football pitch, table tennis, big pool area, zip line and diving board. We played lots of volleyball and some football and had a lot of fun on the zip line and diving board. 

The trees were filled with monkeys, like Marcelle from Friends. They were fun to taunt and muck about with. Clare got a banana out of her bag and put it under her chair. Within a minute, 2 monkeys came down from the trees. 1 distracted her and the other nicked her banana. It was amazing. 

On our last day, me, Nathan and Lloyd played tennis, perhaps stupidly in the heat of the day. Unfortunately, I haven't maintained my tennis ability as well as my table tennis ability. 
That night, we got a nigh bus to Foz de Iguassu. Great night bus, slept like a baby from start to finish.
