At the puma me and mirta (?) washed the floor of the avery and it was DISGUSTING i actually was given a scraper to scrape poo on the floor haha. it took a couple of hours and a whole lot of agua to make it remotley clean and theres still pooey stains on the floor :/ but it smells less. i squidged the floor toget all the water out after and then came home after id finished and me and susie q went to Asuncion the capital of PARAGUAY. :)
we got the bus to encarnacion and got off at the bus station where this random man was selling tickets to asuncion :) so we bought our ticket and hopped on our bus and after six and a half hours eventually arrived at the bus station at asuncion and got a taxi to our hostel. Susie had looked up loads of stuff for us to do while id been at the puma so we checked in and went straight out for dinner to the Britannia Pub. it was the COOLEST bar ever, mainly because it was based on london lol there were london posters english music and a union jack bench, beatles posters etc.etc. it was AWESOME. when susie was buying drinks (you have to be 20 to drink in paraguay, naughty me) this old lady started talking to me asking where im from/ why im here/ how long in paraguay for etc. after i told her she basically told me her life story about how her husband died five years ago and her daughters who where there had moved in with her after that and her ex boyfriend from three years ago was half english and she really wants to visit and she uruguayan but prefers paraguay so moved here and she likes to play cards and after all that her children looked at me as if to say sorry, our mums really embarasing, but i didnt mind she was cute!! me and susie played cards and hung out until we got tired and walked back to the hostel.
We were sharing a room with this guy who i think is around 40 and from Singapore. he is the LOUDEST and most ANNOYING snorer i have everrr come across and it was RIDICULOUS .
i thought he was actually dying he makes this weird squeaky sound like he cant breathe and then makes a popping noise :/ it went on allllllll night and i barely slept a wink and in the morning suse said she didnt hear it at all!!
Saturday 29/05:
We got up around nine and went for a walk, our hostel was in the middle of the historical centre and it was a really nice area :) we went to the first train station ever in south america which was quite intersting and then we walked to the main square and looked around the markets and i bought souvenirs and then we went to this awesome cafe for lunch which just had a massive bar and all the workers and the food in the middle of the bar and i ate paraguayan soup which is AMAZING and an empanada. and then we went into this place pantheon of heroes where they have the bodies of loads of important policatical people and loads of plaques and stuff. and in the square they were having some massive christian party with stalls and singing and we watched that for a bit and then went down to the riverside and on the way we bought UNO :) and we found a place where we could take a little boat trip and we paid 50,000 guarani and got into this tiny boat called Brilliant 2. and it was BRILLIANT i didnt stop smiling the whole time, it was just a little half hour boat trip in a little circle but the boat was so cute and the captain was really funny.
then we got out and walked past the presidents house and and there were a couple of men with machine guns outside :O and we tried to find a cafe to sit in and play cards but FAILED so we got a taxi to the other trendy area of the city which took a lot of effort coz we didnt understand the driver and he didnt understand us! got there eventually and walked around the mall and sat in a sweet little cafe and had coffee and cake and played uno and then we decided to walk some fo the way back to the hostel which is alot further away than we thought and we walked down this big long road for AGES until we decided to get a bus which we were very proud of ourselves for and we got off and went back to the hostel to shower and change and we went out to this cafe thats in the lonely planet book called cafe de literatura and its WELL CUTE you just go in and sit and read a book and drink coffee. me and suse got cheese fondu and wine and sausages and it was t-a-s-t-y and we got extra pan (bread) and then we got la cuenta and went in search of Pirata Bar (Pirate Bar) which involved another confusing conversation with a taxi driver :
Me: Pirata Bar?
Him: ummm... que?
Me: P-I-R-A-T-A B-A-R
Him: No Entiendo
His Friend: Que Calle?
Me: Juan something
His Friend: Ahhhhh Pirata bar?
Me: YES
Him: ahhhhh you should have said
Me: :/
Got there after a while and we got in and got some drinks. we had to pay at one end of the bar and get the drink at the other end so we ordered vodka and cokes and htey pured the vodka to fill about half the glass and then showed us a rum bottle and looked atus like really? so i said yeah? in a confused manner and she pretty much filled my glass up with rum and susie said no we ordered vodka and coke and they said ohhhhh so literally only could fit like a centimetre of coke in and it was DISGUSTING the most gross drink ive ever had apart from this skanky vodka i had once in the bad karaoke bar. we then sat and drank and played uno because we were bored and it wasnt as good as i was expecting, the only piratey thing about it was the name, but nevermind it was still fun and we walked home around half one and went to bedski! The Singapore Snorer was there again and STILL made the same noise alllll night long except i think worse but maybe im just ebing a drama queen, so i reocrded it on my camera for susie to listen to hehe il put all my videos on FB when i get home it takes too long here!
Sunday 30/05:
All we did sunday was get up and get the bus over to the bus station where susie bought like this chicken spaghetti meal which she had to eat with her fingers coz she didnt have a knife and fork, and we got the bus which was a mini bus :O back to encarnacion and then the colectivo back to the house.
