FOZ DO IGUAÇU - my second home with hundreds WATERFALLS and crossing the border to Paraguay

in #travel7 years ago

Coming back home always brings kind of relief.

Foz do Iguaçu is also my home. Even if the things are being different than last year (not gonna talk about my personal stuff here right now, but those who have read my blog last year, might suspect what I am talking about), it's still my comfort zone here.

When I was on my way here, I was actually thinking about how pity is that there aren't here any of these things that I've loved recently in Brazil - like beach, dancing samba and forró on the streets.

But when I arrived, my life theory just confirmed - the most important are always people who surround us.

And here I have wonderful people around me, my friends, people who I can call a family. It's such a wonderful thing that we can become a part of family even with the people that we aren't joined with by blood ties. Probably that's why it was so hard for me to leave here last week.

But finally on last Monday I took my backpack and went by bus to Paraguayan border. New stamps in my passports always bring smile on my face, but this time the exit stamp of Brazil almost made me cry.

In the last minute I got to the bus station to take the bus I was supposed to.

Or actually, wait.

I still had one more hour to wait. Because of all that stress I forgot about change of time zones.

(I actually didn't get first why Paraguay has different time zone if even Argentina and Chile have the same one as Brazil( I mean most of Brazil coz there are few time zones here). But then my hosts explained me it's changed only in the winter to save the energy - because actually in Paraguay shops are open only till 4/5 pm less or more so it helps a lot. I mean, in case of Poland I don't think that changing our time zone in the winter helps a lot in saving the energy, at least nowadays when everything is open till late).

I took the bus for 50 reais which was so comfortable that it seemed like business clase in a plane.

Finally, after 5 pm I arrived in Asunción.

Back on that day I didn't know what I would happen in Argentina few days later, and where I would go after Argentina... I mean, I am very happy being where I am at the moment, but I would never suppose to come here right now!
