Paraguay Shopping
We slept in late this morning. There wasn't much point in getting too exited because it was a Sunday and the city was shut. Not to mention the rain was still hammering down. We were supposed to go to the Argentina side of the falls today but our local guide decided we would be better to delay it until tomorrow. Considering the torrential rain it looked to be a good call. It would mean that we wouldn't have as much time there the next day, but it would at least be fine weather.
The alternate option was a trip into Paraguay. Iguazu is at the corner borders of Brazil, Argentina & Paraguay. We weren't going to go when we saw it on the itinerary as it was pretty much just a shopping trip, but with a whole day to kill we figured why not? Nothing better to do. Turned out to be a waste of time anyway. The shopping wasn't any cheaper than the US & there would be no warranties on the gear. To make things worse, on the way back we were told to fork out money for the use of the bus! I was already getting frustrated with Suellen's ways & this was a classic example. One or four of us were very angry at her after that.
The afternoon dragged on with nothing to do. Kerri, Nic & a few others went to the mall near by. The rain had backed off by that point.
