Iguazu Falls

Iguazu falls...a must see to anyone visiting this area and the one place just about everyone we had met was visiting. We had heard the Argentinian side of the falls was more spectacular, so we got a bus from Brazil back to Atgentina, dumping our bags at the hostel and heading back out. It was an expensive ticket in so made the most of it by getting the free train to the top of the falls. Devils gorge. It was pretty impressive, the sound, the spray, the vast amount of water being pushed through the rocks - we couldnt see the bottom. It was imense, but not yet as amazing as we'd thought. This moment came when we headed away from the falls to the lower and upper decks. It was here you could see how enormous it is and why its the eigth wonder of the world. An incredibly beautiful site.

So we've seen them from the top and afar, nikki and rich persuaded us to get the speed boat ride that took us up close to the bottom of the falls. I stripped to my bikini prepared to get soaked. A short wait we were on the boat full speed into the falls, we couldnt see a thing, such loud noise and drenched to the bone, it was so nice with the cool water (it was another blooming stinky hot day).

We headed back late on to the hostel, i skypd vic while nik skypd home as we chilled by the pool. We headed out later for tea at a nice looking restaraunt. Steak was on our agenda,.last chance for argentina to proove to us they could do a good steak. It was average again, but a lovely night. We bumped into some friends from Florianopolis and had a drink with them before heading back.

The next day we decided we'd seen the falls from every possible angle and opted not to see them from the brazilian side too. We made egg sarnies instead and got ready for another bus journey, this time inland Brazil to the pantanal and Bonito.
