From Santa Maria to Asuncion Paraguay We are up very early on this day. First thing on our list is to make breakfast, feed some more monkeys and then get the local bus in Santa Maria. We are told it leaves at 10 a.m. This time changes to 10.30 a.m, and then to 11:00 […]
Santa Maria, Misiones Paraguay After bidding our friends from Norway farewell, we had a couple of days to shop and stock up on warm thermal clothing for our next single parent travel as encouraged by several luxury travel experts. “The rains are here”. The food festival we had planned to visit on Saturday was […]
Jesuit Ruins of Paraguay Jesús De Tavarangüé Santísma Trinidad Del Paraná To get there we headed for a local bus. On this family travel, we were dropped at the corner and were told that it is where we get a taxi or local bus to the Jesús De Tavarangüé ruins. After some confusion as […]
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 […]
Asuncion Paraguay so non-touristy! Our first wander around Asuncion on this family travel around the Globe. We are tired, and so there is not too much to be done on the first day. This is what my eight-year-old son requests and I agree with him. We definitely need a rest from this busy single parent […]
El Viajero Guest House Asuncion Paraguay We have had to move from our last lovely hotel. We wanted to stay in the central area of Asuncion, so we contacted El Viajero of South America after talking to our luxury travel experts. (They are a B&B network located in the best places of Colonia, Montevideo, Punta del Este […]
Royalty & Asuncion Palace Hotel Paraguay It is late afternoon when we arrive at the Asuncion Palace Hotel. A lovely gentleman greets us at the taxi and takes our bags. This is a surprise treat for my son. And I am tired, and a little worn out from nearly a year of living out of […]
Ciudad del Este to Asuncion by Bus Paraguay After a great breakfast and lovely service (for all of $27 US for both of us) at the Victoria Hotel in Ciudad del Este, We have an early start to get the bus to Asuncion. We arrive and order front tickets upstairs. We love these seats! But […]
Brazil and Paraguay Border – Ciudad del Este It is time for us to leave Brazil. We have made many friends over the past 2 months. But we want to head back to where it is warmer. We have decided we don’t want to go further south just now. It is too cold, and also […]
Foz do Iguacu falls best falls I have ever seen in my life Firstly we had taken a 6-hour bus ride from Paraty to Sao Paulo. We had not booked our next bus, as we have found most times a 4-hour bus journey can soon become a 7 or 8-hour bus journey. So we […]
