| We descended from the planes into the rolling countryside of Southern Brazil. By now it was winter in the Southern hemisphere and was starting to feel quite chilly. |
 |
| Our route followed the course of the Parana river. This water will eventually flow over the Itaipu Dam which we intended to visit. We wondered who would get there first. |
 |
| We camped inside this tyre repair shop one night. The sign said open 24 hours but luckily there weren’t any customers that night. |
 |
| Here, charcoal is being produced by burning wood in these giant ovens for use in the churrascarias - Brazilian barbecue restaurants. |
 |
| Shanty towns of agricultural workers. It must get pretty cold in the winter. |
 |
| Mad Brazilian drivers! This one forgot to slow down for the roundabout. |
 |
| By the time we got close to Argentina the temperatures were dropping below zero at night. |
 |
| The family who owned this deli made us delicious hot chocolate and explained that Brazilians are taller than Paraguayans because the Paraguayans didn’t eat enough beef. |
