Colonial Iguacu & Spa Foz de Iguacu

... and then onto Uruguay which we spend the next few days of the trip. <br><br>Apologies for the fact that there are no photos - the computers here wont recognise our cameras, but just do a Google images search for the places we've been to - definitely have a look at the Iguassu falls !<br><br>Going for a dip in the hotel pool now, then have some dinner before the night bus, bye !

... people to open aircraft doors in flight... We didn´t get a safety briefing before the boat ride BTW... <br><br>The falls themselves as I said were magnificent. I love to see the ocean on particularly rough days when there´s a big swell and the waves are choppy because I love the drama of it, and I actually like being reminded how powerful water can be, because its amazing. Iguassu was just like that - the sheer power of the water, the sound was thunderous as the water poured ...

... about an hour in one go so felt very much the worse for wear. Shell was in much better shape after persevering with the travel tablets so she was well away most of the night. <br><br>The usual drill people do is to go see the Brazilian side of the falls, stay one night on the Brazilian side, then book the full day tour of the Argentinian side and then leave that night on yet another long over night ride somewhere. We decided to take it a bit easier, and have now crossed over to ...

... completly taxi-less town and so we had to walk with our massive backpacs to the bus station. We quickly downed a hideous greasy lunch- really missing those beautiful Argentine empanadas and got on two more buses to Trindade (the tiniest and remotest little seaside down!). We finally arrived at about 9 at night having not eaten for hours and having also completly forgotten to get money out in the nearest ´large´town of Paraty!!! We ...

... with a young brazilian guia who speaks no english..we get by in my broken spanish...my horse drags his feet a bit on the way out but when i turn him around and push him into a canter he becomes a different horse and is soon pushing forward into a fast gallop...the guide following close behind... After 5 days of relaxing and recuperating here ...ready to face all that Brazil offers ....we set off by buggy along the beaches, a 110km trek back to Natal. we roar across ...

... the tops of the waterfall, but we wanted to do this one first.<br><br> <br><br>This trail led us to some fantastic views, you wonder where the hell all this water comes from!<br><br> <br><br> <br><br>The closer we got, the louder they ...

... up hill the whole way. So all in all exhausting last day but the bike riding was fun. When I got back I did some wandering and shopping. Everyone was so nice to me there. It was funny cause everyone I saw was like, oh you went biking with Alexander today? (Everyone knows everyones business before its even happened) And a few people I met were like, your Jenny from Canada, right? I was sad to leave cause in just 6 days I knew alot of really great people.

... 140 km/hr down the highway through the 50km/hr speedzones. It was fun... kinda. Today I had an amazing day with two Brazilian women from Porto Alegre and a guide to 3 waterfalls outside of the park. The first one we went to was about 50m high and had rapellers and a canyon we got to swim in. Next one was my favorite cause there was cliffjumping. A guy showed up with a clarinet and sat above the waterfall and played for all of us. Not many people there though ...

... here with a guide so we went together as a group. We hiked to a canyon and a beautiful waterfall. The park is full of crystals and cool rocks. There were parts of the ground that looked like someone had smashed a windowpane and there was shattered glass everywhere. The water is really clean too and good to drink. Its sooo hot though. I arrived in Sao Jorge yesterday after a 6 hour busride that stopped in every little town along the way. I am the only ...
