Bourbon Cataratas Rsrt And Con Foz de Iguacu

From Paraty we took our first overnight bus to the Iguassu Falls, on the border of Brazil - Argentina and Paraguay. Not the best nights sleep we'd ever had but well worth the journey when we got to the falls.<br><br>The first afternoon we spent on the Brazilian side, which has the best views and various viewing platforms and trails, and the 2nd day we spent on the Argentinian ...

... with giant life vests. They start by driving you upstream skirting around the falls for a bit so you can get some good shots, then it´s cameras away and they drive you right into them. Technically speaking you don´t really go under them because the current and spray is enormous, everyone gets saturated to the core and sometimes the spray was so strong I couldn´t open my eyes. <br><br>At one point I did have a moment of fear which was completely irrational and unusual for me ...

... two normal bottles of blue. There was a four x 20cl pack (gold, blue, green and black) for about 150 that temped me, but no room. <br><br>Got back to BA fine. Bit of an incident with the taxi back to hostel, as i thought he said 30, but turned out he wanted 39 (about &#8364;1.75 of a difference). Thing is, he wanted me to give him a 100 bill rather than a 50. I refused. Two or three minutes later, i was about to leave the taxi unpaid when he eventually accepted ...

Man Alive- it`s been busy here since I last wrote!! On the move every fews days!! So, we left Rio de Janiero (waving goodbye to the mother and Susan) and headed for Ilha Grande. The journey was probably one of our worst so far! We left late because we were all feeling so hungover after are many caiparinhas the night before, and then the really crowded and bumpy boat took fooorever to get back to Angra! When we finally did arrive it was to ...

... The back gate walks out straight onto the sand..., with four immaculately presented sleeping rooms all leading straight onto the delightful garden and pool ...with hammocks swinging from the porches. we see few tourists its still quiet and the season has not yet started in earnest. The village hums in the evening with the young locals, who hang out opposite the bars . There is also a great selection restaurants all serving excellent food. I try horseriding along the ...

... quite cool, you could see some of the falls through the natural stone arch.<br><br> <br><br>As if by magic...<br><br> <br><br>This was also a great view back towards the throat.<br><br>The falls on the left are on the Brazilian (Brasilian ...

... anger seemed to improve my step. I did stop and wait for him a few minutes later. But then we got lost. For another hour. And hes a guide! We ended up on top of a cliff that I just about slipped off of. We had to swim up river a ways to get back and tramp through the bushes. This was not helping with my mood. But luckily we found our way back to the trail. I really just wanted to leave but he decided to get naked and go for a swim, ??? The ride back was ...

Last night I drove up to the lookout point with my family to watch the sunset. I had to keep myself from laughing as we 4x4´d our way up in their brandnew little car, I think we dropped the engine a couple of times, eeps. Then we drove into Alto Paraiso for supper, which they wouldn´t let me pay for. Cool little outdoor restaurant with live music. I thought dad was going to kill us with his crazy driving but after a few beer I decided it wasn´t that bad of an idea to ...

Today was one of those days when I thought to myself, ´life really doesn´t get any better than this`, as I was eating fresh goiaba while swimming under a waterfall (yes at the same time). Except of course if I had some family or friends here. But I´ve adopted a new family. I have two younger brothers, 18 and 19, and very sweet parents who seem very much in love. They´re from Brasilia and they´re staying at the same pousada. You have to visit the national ...
