Day 21: Car Trouble in Paraguay

We were doing really good on our budget in Paraguay until Mary decided to open her Uber drivers door into oncoming traffic on the way to the bus station for Brazil.

The drivers and police spoke zero English, but we Google translated that it was our fault and worked with the drivers to write the police report and go to repair shop to fix both cars which in total was $284 USD.

Dale, who was the one who hit the car door was amazing, understanding, and walked us through our first forced police bribe ($20).

Anyway, we stayed in Asunción one more night after the ordeal and enjoyed a nice meal at Bar Leo’s and watched an exciting fútbol game.

Here are pictures from the car accident and the hotel artwork since there is nothing of interest on this stressful day.
