Asunción Day 4

Our last day in Asunción was spent planning the next week or so and tying up the loose ends. We made some bookings for buses, accommodation, and tried to make some for the national parks at Iguazu Falls. Unfortunately the payment system wasn't cooperative.

Allan also took some time to go and visit the parliament. He found it interesting and enjoyed walking around the building on his short tour. He also popped up to the Asunción Palace Hotel on the way. The historic building was nice on the outside, but didn't have many guests, and the front door was even locked! He had to knock to see inside. While he was gone, I did some scrapbooking. With all the country changing and border crossing, not only has there been limited time for scrapbooking, but I wasn't able to mapbout the pages because we weren't finished in the countries. It was nice to get caught up and to have a look through all the memories already.

After Allan's small adventure, we met up at Quiero Fruta for another açai bowl. They are just so delicious and refreshing! It was especially hot and muggy today after the rain last night, so it was a nice snack.

We went back out around sunset to try and see it from the top of a sad looking multi story parking lot. We really didn't think there'd be anyone there, nevermind someone telling us we couldn't go to the top to take a picture. But unfortunately there was. We quickly walked down the street back towards the Cabildo. We caught a glimpse of the sky starting to change with the sun passing the horizon to a soft pink. We decided that with all the clouds here, you probably can't get a good sunset to see the sun, but you so get some great colors changing in the sky.

The rest of the evening was spent with some more planning and Allan had some life admin to catch up on too. We leave Asunción tomorrow, so packing also had to happen!Læs mere
