Panoramic Hotel Iguazu Puerto Iguazu

... as nobody stopped us. We got to the bus terminal which was bordered on one side by a Shanty town made of dustbin bags (around 30 odd houses) and a football standium on the other - not too reassuring. We looked around for the bus immediatly harrased by some seller tyring to squeeze money out of us. We found a nice guy selling tickets so we went with him appart from we didnt have any cash. Some guys tell us a way ...

... I could want... that is always comforting. <br>Undeterred with my defeat at the hands of the Brazilian government, I head back to the Hostel to hang outwith the people there as that night is a big cookout / party (this Hostel was more like a resort that happened to have dorm rooms). As I spend most of my time slowly updating the blog and watching Argentina scrape out a win over Peru, I am itching to get back to the city because a number of locals told me to visit the local club &#8220 ...

... occurred; a guy called Rich who I was at Leeds with and hadn´t seen in two years walked through the main entrance with his back-pack, having just arrived. Like me, he`s taking time off to travel until he starts his job in February. We were both amazed by this chance encounter, and he sat down and we had a catch-up for half an hour. Shortly after this me and Alex caught ...

... just thinking about it..)<br><br>The next day we headed to the Iguazu falls national park to be amongst our own kind again.. tourists! And there were loads of them.. We went through the jungle in a 4WD buggy thing, and then in a speed boatright up to the falls where we got DRENCHED!

<br><br>We covered about 450 kms today and most of the countryside looked very similar to Scotland, must have been the rain and conifer forests! Seriously though it was very much like home. The one thing that we have found is that today the road tolls have been very expensive. We knew that we would have to pay tolls, but they have increased as we have gone west and today we spent some 28 ...

... two main streams... The moment we got off the island it started pouring down on us but we were really lucky to have some sunshine again when we got off a little railway that brings you to the Devils throat, the point where the water crashes down at the main falls - really noisy and pretty cool! <br><br>Apart from the falls there is not much to do here though and it is pretty obvious temperature wise that we are going ...

Got in at about 4:30pm, found a hostel conveniently located just across from the bus terminal. Immediately felt the difference in heat and humidity not just in Iguazú, but also when the bus made a stop in Posadas. Disappointed with the food on the bus, we quickly shopped for some groceries, and chilled the ...

... get us in the middle of the shot!<br><br>What is wrong with these people, can't they see the screen?!<br><br>In the end I simply gave up asking other people, so it was back to the good old 'over the head' self portraits! <br><br> <br><br> <br><br>This was another place where I was getting severe SLR ...
