From Ms Debs

We have now arrived safe and sound in Bonito. The children are currently enjoying some free time by the swimming pool and later this evening they will dress up a little before we head into Bonito town. There they will be eating dinner and then wondering around the town where they can visit the aquarium, eat ice cream and shop for some souvenirs... all before heading back to the hotel to watch the football match this evening!!!!
And yes - I will ask more of them to write on the blog and I'll add some more photos this evening.

From Ms Debs

Tonight is our last night in the Pantanal. The students have spent the day returning from the campsite, dissecting piranha, fishing for piranha and even some horse riding for those that wanted.
Tomorrow we head off very early to make our way to Bonito. We will be travelling all day but using a variety of methods... boats, trucks, walking and bus!!
Bonito holds a variety of other activities - floating down a river, visiting caves and more.
We will keep you posted....
