Tarija Country Club – Canopy. A must do (and a bargain) in Bolivia- Our friends at the Zeballos Plaza Hotel have recommended we go to the Tarija Country Club. Some of my luxury travel experts have also told me to give it a try during this family travel of ours. We were going to stay, […]
Visiting the dentist in Tarija Bolivia -We recommend Zeballos Plaza Hotel- This blog is a bit backdated since I have not blogged for a while since we arrived in Tarija on this single parent travel of ours.

A friendship formed from a plastic Coca-cola bottle Last Sunday we decided to walk to find the “white church” that has unusual architecture. Well – we walked right past it – as it is now painted grey! But we did find a kids playground with a cement wave slide. It is filled with traditional and […]

Tarija Bolivia Bodegas Wineries and Concepcion Monday morning 8 a.m. and it is freezing cold as we wait in the main square of Tarija (pronounce Tareeha) for the minibus to take us on the “Tour of the Wine”. The square comes to a halt. Everyone jumps out of their cars and stand attention. Those walking […]

Encarnacion Hotel Puesta del Sol & Canela Fina Restaurant, Paraguay We decided to meet our Norway friends in Encarnacion. It is always nice meeting people you know while on a family travel since it eliminates the need for luxury travel experts advice. This, therefore, means that we save so much during our single parent travel. […]
Areguá Paraguay A quaint town close to Asuncion We are heading out today with a Mother and her daughter from Norway. We have met them at our hostel. Apparently, they are staying in the room next to ours. I am happy that at least I have someone I cant talk with regarding the challenges we […]
More exploring in Asuncion Paraguay Wow – today is cold – and I mean cold. We are told about the lack of mountains in the area means there is no protection. These are the extremities of nature that our single parent travel has exposed me to. I am worried more about my son more than […]
