Day 651 2nd May 2018
Foz do Iguaco
15 miles (To Paraguay and back) average speed 7.1 mph Top speed 31 mph
I was up at 7.30 for a good brekkie again. Then I showered and went to the bus stop, but twice when requesting a bus it carried straight on past, so I gave up on going to the falls today and chose to go in search of new tyres in Paraguay. The ride there was quite eventful as I was nearly wiped out by a taxi driver opening his door on me. I screamed and then looked back to give him some abuse and he just laughed at me!! Bastard!!
Ciudad del Este, Paraguay
Then I went straight through the border into the manic Ciudad del Este and found Miami bikes, who directed and escorted me to Pro Bike shop and a very nice chap who spoke English. He offered me a selection of tyres, but they were more for off road use, then he offered me a tyre from his own bike that he’d swapped after 3 months use, a continental city tyre so I chose to take that as a spare for when one of mine gave up. He asked 15 dollars for it and I went in search of a bank. There were none at which I could use my bank card so I had to change my last 20 euros.
