A short distance from Iguacu we visited a circuit which looked really good on paper but turned out to be a kart track when we got there, anyway we blasted round with Tyres squealing, looking quite spectacular in a Mr Bean sort of way and did quite well we thought, until it came to stopping astride of two cones at the end, our enthusiasm got the better of us, stopping with three brake isn't as easy as we imagined.
Moving on, we headed east on the main road and were quite surprised how neat and tidy everything is, quite a step up in terms of sophistication from Argentina, and two centuries ahead of Bolivia. It all looks very european, emerald green field and bright rust coloured soil. There were huge fields of soya growing, as far as the eye can see and for hundreds of miles. It is getting hotter by the day, getting on for 30 degrees and very sunny.
The highlight of the day was a visit to the Autodromo Ayrton Senna, the smartest circuit we have been to yet, but still a bit hick. We thought we performed brilliantly, the idea being to do four laps at exactly the same times, using a trip meter and a couple of stop watches. No doubt we will have cocked it up somehow but until we get the results we are revelling in the glory of getting it right. Short blog today as we are both completely goosed!
