Friday afternoon we boarded the bus and met Gen. Ostparaguay 4 hours later in Ciudad del Este. Benny and Nina (two friends) were waiting for us and so we went first to look for a cheap place to stay. We were also quite fast for a hotel with a four-room, the cost per person 8 € (Including breakfast). Very solid.
Yeah, then we have placed the luggage in our room and enjoyed the night life in deserted stunning city. On Saturday we spent strolling, shopping and admiring the vast chaos of this stark city. It must be said that Ciudad del Este, the largest black market in South America and has one of the largest in the world. Really crude, clothes, electronics, guns, stun guns and jewelry, there are real and all this still really cheap.
also a new digital camera I've done to me =)
This is on almost every corner of a security with an excessively large S 
hotgun, bullet-proof vest and knives. This surpasses even the policemen with their guns from Asunción.
But despite repeated warnings to avoid driving taxis and police officers to the streets at night and to just be traveling in large groups, we were not attacked to happiness.
Sunday morning we headed to the Itaipu dam. Damn impressive. It is the largest dam in the world, bigger than the Three Gorges Dam. 2008 he "produced" so much energy that you could provide for all the world 2 days in current. And even with one of the 20 turbines could be a 2-million-inhabitant city Energy supply.
This was all explained to us in a short film followed by a bus tour through the countryside and over the dam. The dam is about 8km long way.
went to this amazing experience it directly to the next. By taxi, we went to the Franco-waterfall. The river is a tributary of the Paraná River and meanders through dense forest areas. At 40 degrees and extreme humidity came to the right as in the tropics. The fauna was really impressive, there were hundreds of butterflies and spiders of all sizes and colors.
afternoon we drove to the terminal and grabbed us the first available bus to Hohenau. He was also very cheap, but also equipped accordingly. Air conditioning and ventilation were broken, which was at the temperatures a bit uncomfortable. In addition, you could not lean too hard on the armrests, as they broke off otherwise. Running, that's Paraguay;)
am now in Hohenau, with Benny and Nina's project and waiting for a call from Li 
sa, my host mother. The whole family wanted to do that is a 2-day trip to Ostparaguay. If all goes well, we'll be meeting so somewhere around here, so I will continue to travel with them.
