Myself and a friend Chris dicided one day just to go travelling so we started with South America, formally from Durban in South Africa. I used to be a tour guide, and Chris a milright, not sure on the spelling. Backpacking is a very adventurous way to see the place as we are finding.

O the day before when leaving the bus station after buying the tickets an officer approached us speacking spanish so we were there a while not understanding a word, then we finally realised it was a local prank [View Full Entry]

Paraguari and sorroundings Ok well so much has happened, where to start.
