ビザ待ちでもう1泊 / 1 more day in Iguazu for awaiting the visa
Day 566: 2012年2月13日
Puerto Iguazu (Peter Pan Hostel)
55,488km to 55,492km = 4km
さて今日は朝一番でブラジル領事館に行きました。5時半に起床し7時にキャンプ場を後にします。
領事館の前では既に先客2名。オーストラリア人です。なんと申請書と銀行の残高証明を印刷しなければいけない、と。領事館の隣の宿「Bambu」で印刷させてくれると。
早速「Bambu」で作業。20ペソ。印刷して戻ってくると結構人数増えてます。
丁度領事館の人が車で出勤してきました。「みんなちゃんと申請書と銀行残高持っているか?」と。何人かは持ってなくて「Bambu」へ直行。いい商売だな、Bambu。
中に入って、順番待ちして申請。ワシの場合バイクでの出入国なので、ちょっと係りの人が「うーーーん」って感じでしたが(普通はブラジル出国のバスか飛行機のチケットが必要)、無事申請できました。115ペソ。
しかし今日中の発給は無理だそうで、「明日の11時から12時の間」と。なので、向かいの「Peter Pan Hostel」にはバイクを駐車できるスペースがあるのでチェックイン。1日のんびり過ごします。
先ずは靴下やシャツを洗濯(靴下は5日連続で履いたのでヤバイことに)。ネットをしてから昼飯を買いに。エンパナーダ4個で16ペソ。これが出来たてで美味しかった。
宿に戻り昼寝。しばらくネットしたあと、夕飯を食べに外へ。エンパナーダ屋は閉まっていたので、近くのハンバーガー屋で。ここで日本人のサトウ君と韓国人のジュン君と出会いました。
2人は別々で旅をしていて、たまたま今日宿の前であったとか。2人とも大学生で休学中。好青年ですね。夕食を共にし、しばらく歓談。楽しい夜を過ごせました。サトウ君は今日パラグアイから来たそうですが、なんとパラグアイからフェリーが出ていたのだとか! 彼もそれを昨日は知らずに、ブラジルのビザを取るために1日シウダー・デル・エステに1泊したのだそう。ワシもそれでパラグアイに渡れたかも・・・。まぁ、いいか。
ジュン君は明日カラファテに飛び、サトウ君はイグアスの滝に行くそうです。Buen viaje!!
さて、明日はビザを取得できるかな? 出来れば先ずはブラジルに入り、それからパラグアイに入ります。上手くいけばイグアス日本人移住区のペンション園田ですね。
Day 566: 13 FEB 2012
Puerto Iguazu (Peter Pan Hostel)
55,488km to 55,492km = 4km
I went to the consulate of Brazil here in Puerto Iguazu in the morning. I got up at 5:30am and left the campground at 7am. But wheI got to the consulate, there were 2 people (Australians) aleady waiting!
They told me that I need to print out an applicaition form and a bank statement. Luckily a hostel next door "Bambu" was offering the service (20APs!) and I went there to print them out.
When I came back, there were more people waiting. A staff just came by a car and he said "Eeryone has a application form and a bank statement ready?" Some did not and they all rushed to Bambu. What a good business they have.
Once in the consulate, the aplication was fairly simple. But as I would be riding in and out of Brazil, the staff was taking a time (usually an applicant needs to have a ticket - bus or air - out of Brazil). Anyway, my application would be processend and I paid 115APs for the fee. It would be ready by tomorrow 11am - 12noon. So I have to stay 1 more day here.
I went to a hostel in front of the consulate. The name is "Peter Pan Hostel". There was a space for motorcycle and I coul get a dorm bed for 70APs (including breakfast).
After checked in, I washed my shirt and socks. As I was wearing them for 5days, they were...
I updated my blog in English and surfed the Net for a while. Then I went out to have lunch. I found a nice empanada shop. 1 empanada costs 4APs. I bought 4 diferent ones and they were all freshly made and excelent!
I came back to the hostel and had a nap.
I the afternoon, I went out to have the empanadas again, but the shopwas closed. So I had donner at a hamburger shop nearby where I met Sato from Japan and Jun from Korea. The are both students. We had dinner together and chat for a while. Sato told me that he came from Paraguay today. He caught a ferry from Paraguay to Argentina directly!! He did not know about it yesterday and he had to stay 1 night in Ciudad del Este last night to get a Brazilian visa. But this morning, he was told that he could catch the ferry. I could have caught it to Paraguay... But anyway, I need the Brazilian visa sooner or later.
Jun will fly to El Calafate tomorrow and Sato will visit Cataratas del Iguazu tomorrow. Buen viaje!
Hopefuly I can get the visa tomorrow as I was told. Then I will cross to Brazil, then to Paraguay. If everything works as planned, I should be able to get to Pension Sonoda @ Yguazu Japanese setlement.
