So we're packin up from our iguasu adventure when we heard you could buy iphones in paraguay for 150 bucks! so we saddled up and headed to the "ponte de amizade" which is where paraguay and brazil boarder. What we came face to face with was probably the eighth wonder of the world. Traffic was backed up for miles before the bridge, luckily we bought motorcycles so we could evade such problems! well we're weavin in and out, hopin up on medians, cuttin across lawns, and got seperated, jim cut around a bus and i never saw him again. I took brian off the freeway and down into a neighborhood where we flew down the street, to the frontage road, up the side grass hill and jumped back on the freeway right before the bridge! cutting in front of all the traffic! haha. we cruised through the brazillian checkpoint into what i can only describe as this. . .. if you were to take two motorcross races and line the whole shots up directly across from each other and then drop the gates, then you would have this outcome! haha, it was AWESOME, imagine a four lane highway, ( same size as a two lane back in the good ol u.s. of a. ) two rows of cars coming, two rows of cars going, extremely close to eachother because in between the coming and going you have two lanes of motorcycles coming and going!!! so we're flying down the middle, elbows tucked and clippin mirrors! we make it to the other side and a dude with an ar15 pulls me over, asks me for some bike documents and identification, until he saw the american flag flyin proud on the back of my pack and found out i was american, saluted me and told me to have a good time!! haha. Then it was back to the races, cruisin down the road, throttle pinned. come up on a round about. no stop signs, no yield signs, its everyone, haulin ace, and praying for the best! thrown into the mix and hope you come out in one piece on the other side.
After hours of being hustled by little kids and everyguy on the shoulder to shoulder streets, and finding out that the 150.00 dollar i phone was a fake we got back on the hogs and fought the traffic out of the the filthy streets and said peace out to Paraguay.
It was balls to the wall till about 2 or 3 in the morning, when we saw a rest stop and decided to set up camp. Strung up or hammocks, walked through some gigantic spider webs and had the most pissed off narly 8 legged furry, furocious, beast of a spider on my chest ready to take my head for destroying his palace. don't worry, i won.
Then we rode the hammocks all the way to snoozerton, woke up, took an awesome ice shower, except Brian who got all soaped up and the water shut off on him!!! haha, then it was back on the path to Curitiba!!
