Our trip to The Pantanal started early, 5 am. This will be a common theme for the next few days. First stop Pousa Aleggro. A basic but ‘honest’ cattle ranch with some stunning wildlife.

Food is rice, beans and something. And lots of fruit. Actually rather good.

Wine: all from Chile. Hmmm.

Tomorrow we go to The Pantanal proper, via Transpanitineria. Exciting!! And I have put to bed my inability to photograph a kingfisher. Yea!!

Be warned. Exciting photos to follow…..
