Rano pri plateni za nasu izbu som poziadala o zlavu kvoli svabom vyliezajucim z kupelne a prekvapivo sme ju dostali, neuveritelnych 8000 guaranii - asi 1.5 dolaru. Cesta autobusom bola zdlhava, zastavovalo sa uplne vsade, uplne kazdemu kto zamaval. Niekedy sa zastavilo aby sme niekoho nabrali a asi tak 100 metrov /doslova/ sa zastavovalo znova. Tiez sa stale zastavovalo roznym predajcom predavajucim hlavne jedlo ale tiez vselico ine. Skusili sme chipu a obidvom nam velmi chutila. Nakoniec sme do Asuncionu dorazili so skvelym, ani nie 2 hodinovych oneskorenim. Prva vec ako obycajne bolo najst nejake ubytovanie. Ja som ostala s vecami a Stanik sa vybral nieco najst. Pri tom ho zastavili policajti, musel sa legitimovat a ukazat vsetko co mal pri sebe - prvy krat co tu sme. Vsade po celom Paraguayi vysia plagaty Lilian, predsednicky nejakej strany a jej muza Horacia. Vsede tu tiez vidiet straznikov s brokovnicami, vatsina z nich su velmi mlado vyzerajuci chlapci.


In the morning while paying for our accomodation I ask for a discount because of cocroaches comming out of our bathroom, and suprisingly we got it, it was unbelievable 8000 guaranii - 1.5 dollars. The journey took us ages, mostly because the bus stopped for everyone who hailed on. Sometimes we stopped for somebody and then 100 metres /really/ we had to stop again. Also we seemed to stop all the time for all the guys selling something - mostly food but also many other things. We tried chipa, and it was very yummy. In the end we arrived to Asuncion with only 2 hours delay. First thing to do, as usual, was to find some accomodation. I stayed with our stuff and Stan went to look around. While walking around he was stopped by some policemen and had to show his ID and also all his pocket - this happened for the first time we have been here. There are posters all around the country of Lilian, leader of one party and her husband Horacio. There are also everywhere guys with guns, mostly very young looking ones.
