And this is what it looks out onto…
Not a bad place to be stranded, eh?
'Stranded?' you ask. Indeed we are. Well, sort of. The story unveils thus…
In order to enjoy our South America Half all the more, by means of our own transport, we came up with a brilliant plan that ensured independent wheels in which to reach the Uttermost Parts of the Earth in relative comfort and safety. It was an entirely win-win plan, as all we (rather, Gus) had to do, was 'nip' down to Uruguay, sign a few papers and take possession of his father's new Landie, that has been imported from the UK. Gus would then exchange the new car for his father's older Landie for us to continue our travels in. Naturally, South American bureaucracy is never quite so straight-forward as one would hope it to be, and so Gus - on this solo mini trip - has spent rather longer than anticipated, holed up in Montevideo. But at least he's had plenty of Spanish-speaking practice, ready for the re-launch of the Le Breton's trip through South America! Great job, Gus!
So what better way to keep ourselves occupied on the farm than to hike (just over 1,600m) up the local mountain Itajaru…
…with the aid of Iracambi programme coordinator Gui…
It was a hard climb, but SO worth it!
And go swimming in the rainforest, as well as exploring along the river…
