I hesitate to use the word, but today was simply AWESOME. Neither of us slept that well because the sun woke us up and really lit up our small bedroom, so we pretty much had to get up early. This wasn´t a bad thing as we needed to catch the 9:10am bus to the park in order to make our 10am booking on a tour which we´d signed up for yesterday. As ...

Gabby and I flew into Iguassu Falls (Foz do Iguasu) which is in the middle of the jungle on the border where Argentina, Brasil and Paraguay meet, and checked in at our hostel which is kind of like a mini-resort...pool, sports fields, cafeteria. There are loads of tour groups here...and I think they´re all heading to Rio for Carnival......

We travel back to Rio and catch a rather bumpy 2 hour flight west to see the Iguacu Falls on the border with Argentina and Paraguay. First day and we travel across the border to the Argentinean side, as the views of the falls are better; its such a relief to be back in a Spanish speaking country as speaking Portuguese is proving impossible.

Foz do Iguacu, Friday July 27th-29th, 2007. Still has Maccie Ds since last week.

I didn´t go back to the Falls for a fourth time, just got little bits and pieces done and enjoyed some privacy in the hotel room...something I h...

Iguacu falls are at the border of Brazil, Argentina & Paraguay, and i manage to see all 3 yesterday...i hopped on a bus and thought he understood that I wanted to catch a bus to the national park to see the Fal...

Hi! Yup, thats right, after BsAs damn near killed me with good times I`m feeling positively bursting with energy after getting back on the road, a couple of nights sleep, and on to a new country! Been quite a while since I`ve gotten a true culture shock but seems Brazil is going to provide it - between an entirely new language (try speaking Span...
