... to everyone that it's our honeymoon in the hope they'd give up seats... and in a properly sitcom way everyone in the big Dutch tour party of 70-or-so-year-olds cheered, congratulated us, smiled... and didn't move. Of course. In the end A basically told a man to move (all smiley like) and we sat together. This, we argue, qualifies as a honeymoon upgrade, albeit one from disappointment to normal service. <br><br>Anyway... the boat trip was AMAZING and loads of ...

... some photo ops, we stopped under the falls and I mean pretty much under the falls, luckily they had provided us with waterproof bags for our stuff. <br><br>After the boat ride we walked uphill to the top of the falls and caught a small train (like a toy train they have in theme parks) to the best part of the falls The devils throat. WOW that is amazing the spray rose out about 10 foot out of the top of the falls...<br ...

... where the water for the falls originally comes from, the falls was experiencing 7 times its normal amount of water. The Brazilian side is pretty low key, with fantastic views across to the Argentinian side of the falls, and a walkway that goes 2-300m out over the lip of the falls. Beecause of the rains, the water level was just short of lapping over the walkway..........we hoped the foundations were pretty damn strong! The ...

... to some of the big falls - never to mind, i have my memories. Was intending to get a new camera at any rate, and as luck would have it there is a duty free shop in the area (as between two countries) so i got a taxi in the evening and got a decent camera, memory card and bag for around 200 bucks. Will have to read the instructions, never my forte.<br><br>Off to the Brazil side tomorrow, hoping for something similar (apart from the broken camera and strange yank that is).

... hole. So Kira money bags bought me a pop and I popped about 1600mg of Ibuprofen and camped out on the lobby couch while they continued venturing. <br><br>We headed out for our bus back to Colonia and then proceeded directly back to our boat. We had to go through customs and everything again. Luckily though this time the boat ride was great. It was daylight so I could actually see the water and the horizon which I LOVE. I joked and said that our ride was good ...

... the plunge pool and we got a complete soaking! We couldnt see a thing with all the spray but it was such a good laugh! Dripping from everywhere we headed across part of the river to a little island to dry off in the sun. Jon stripped to his pants (as did most people) and dried himself on a rock, Ali chose modesty and drip dried!<br>The falls are split into two main sections - one a series of 5-6 large falls spilling over a lake bed edge and the ...

... we were let go without any punishment. <br><br>We did the quick circuit of Isla San Martin, including visiting the mist-soaked platform that is basically in the mighty Salto San Martin and dried ourselves off under the warm sunshine while eating our picnic lunch on the sandy beach of the island with a panoramic view of jungle-enshrouded waterfalls around us. It was certainly tough being us on this day. <br><br>With some time to spare before sundown, we ...

... nous avons découvert une préparation locale, très commune parmi les petits vendeurs dans les bus: la chipá, un pain de maïs et de farine de manioc, très dense et très sec, parfois fourré avec du fromage (et bien meilleur - ne cherchez pas à savoir de quel fromage il s'agit, ni même si c'est réellement du fromage). Mais attention, ça remplit incroyablement vite! :)<br><br>Au terminal, nous avons découvert que le dernier bus en direction du pont-frontière ...

... up to 80 meters heigth. In the brazilian side you walk along the river, facing the sequence of waterfalls until you reach the most impressive point: the Devil&#8217;s throat, this is a sort of natural square with water ...

... a really HOT little place, which left us gasping, more from the heat than the views this time! <br><br> <br><br>We're obviously on the Argentinian side, to our left is Panama and to our right is Brazil!<br><br> <br><br>Each country had ...
