Up early and took the 07.00 launch to Apip\u00e9 Island, an Argentine territory in Paraguayan waters.  My watch and iPhone were confused with this and kept switching between Argentine and Paraguayan time which was a little disconcerting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We arrived safely on the big island …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… where my guide, Anibal, was waiting for me with his tractor \u2013 the ravaages of Covid having obliged him to decommission his other vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the day we walked through different kinds of terrain and saw large numbers of flowers …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… buterflies …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… mammals (in this case a male howler monkey) …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… and of course lots of birds, including my bird of the day, the always comical burrowing owl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anibal gave me a great lunch, washed down with a herbal drink made with coc\u00fa (aka chal-chal) leaves left to steep overnight in cold water. Very refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After which a snooze was necessary \u2013 in a hammock for a change<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More walking after lunch, and I arrived back to my casa bonita (and a proper bed) in Ituzaingo, tired and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not sure yet what tomorrow will bring, but the uncertainty doesn\u2019t bother me at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
