HI folks,

Just a quick message, first of all I finally got around to writing my Argentina end of chapter.

Secondly, when you read this I will be onboard a cargo boat slowly making my way up the Rio Paraguay. Last week I went down to the port and enquired about a cargo boat that goes up the river dropping off cargo to all the towns along the river that have no road access.  

Some old Paraguayan men relaxing in the shade down by the port told me that if I turn up before 7am on Wednesday morning I can ask the captain if I can be onboard for the 30 hour trip up river. So hopefully when you read this I am actually slugging my way up river. I will write about the experience when I get back.

Chao.
