Day 31: 17 September 2017 – back to Asunción

Going home day, so a bit sad. Up early and got last standing shot of Caroline’s plumbeous ibis.

The beautiful plumbeous ibis once again

We spent a good part of the day on the long (500km) drive, stopping once to see Beryl the missionary (who unfortunately wasn’t there) and once for lunch at the same place we had stopped on the way out. Got to Hotel Danieri in Asunción in early afternoon, somewhat exhausted, showered and soon felt better.  

The long journey back down Route 9 to Asunción

 Rest of the day was relaxation and recuperation, in which checking email, drinking beer and diary writing figured fairly prominently. For supper we walked around the block looking for somewhere to eat and ended up in the bistro opposite, where we had a mountain of good food. Found that we had over-ordered and asked the waiter to donate the pizza to someone who needed it!
