Day 163 - Reaching Guiabá

(Ursula) This morning we noticed yet another flat tire. This has become a daily occurrence since we got on the road again.

It was pretty annoying and time-consuming, plus we don’t need additional exercises when it’s so hot and humid. Ute & Peter were unhappy having to wait for us each time. We appreciate their patience and understanding.

Today, we had the opportunity to fill up the water tank with (safe) drinking water, and in the afternoon, we stopped by a wonderful brook with crystal-clear cool water for a refreshing bath.

The road wasn’t quite as bad as it was yesterday. However, we were driving slower because our companions were about to run out of gas and needed to conserve fuel.

We reached the city of Guiabá, where we stopped for gas and food. It felt so lovely to drive on smoothly paved city streets. What a treat!
