San Martin Hotel And Resort Foz de Iguacu

... most impressive thing here, the power of man to park a mile-long walkway in a torrential river right by the falls is also pretty neat. But not something to consider when relying on that walkway for your continued existence.<br><br>It was so impressive we went back the next day to catch the bits of the park we missed (and all the best bits again), and we saw monkeys and a creature (must look it up) that looked like a cross between a beaver and a small horse ...

... alle Spareribs bestellt, keine gute Idee, da diese gekocht waren und hauptsächlich aus Fett bestanden. Daraufhin haben wir nur mehr bei uns zu Hause gekocht. Dank Leons spanischkenntnissen konnten wir in der Fleischerei sehr gute Steaks bekommen.<br>Nach Leons Abfahrt sind wir auf das argentinische Oktoberfest gefahren. Ein lustiges Fest, jedoch nicht mit dem münchner Oktoberfest zu vergleichen. Wir haben uns einige Shows, unter anderem die ...

... a policewoman was mugged at gunpoint there only the week before. Cripes!!!!!<br><br>Anyway, Argentina generally is a lot safer, which always brings a sigh of relief! Next day we got up early to see the falls from the other side, which couldn't have been more different. Much more commercialised (bit like a low key Disneyland and way more tourists), but the views were unbelievable. We even took a jetboat ride up the river right into ...

... and its a lot less hassle. With the bus you don't have to go through all kinds of security, you don't have to worry about what is in your bag and overall its just a nice ride. <br><br>Anyway we always have lots of fun on the busses we joke and jump around taking pics and the movies are pretty good. I got some good sleep this time too. We stopped a couple times to drop off and pick up other passengers most of the time I didn't even notice. One new ...

... a rainforest it tends to rain... and it did, alot. The point of going to Brasil, apart from the kick of it, is because they have a better panoramic view of the falls, but in pouring rain you cant see the panorama. Reluctantly we abandoned the idea, so here we sit writing our blog.<br>As it happens, we needed to get some more cash to go to Brasil and all the ATMs here are not working and being a Sunday everywhere else is closed. We did get given ...

On the Thursday woke up and didn´t know what time it was. Rob forgot to turn the alarm clock on and the time on the ipod was wrong. We thought it was half 7, but was only half 6 thankfully. Plenty of time to get to the station.<br><br>Onto the bus, and we weren´t sure what to expect as a guy at the hostel had not given the bus company we were using the best review. But we were pleasantly surprised. The ...

... we walked in! In three days we had become regulars. <br><br>Our 22-hour bus to Rio left at 1pm on Jun 4, so we took care of some errands in the morning (like buying a little Homer Simpson toy wearing an Argentine futbol jersey and drinking a Quilmes beer). The bus was incredibly comfortable, though expensive and without food, and we watched some good (Valkyrie, though why Americans like Tom Cruise and British were acting as Nazis I do not know) and bad ...

... et nous avons chargé les bagages dans le bus dans un joyeux chaos. :)<br><br>Il me fallait un tampon de sortie du Paraguay (pas pour Daniela, MERCOSUR oblige), donc nous nous sommes arrêtés du côté Paraguayen du pont. Mais comme c'était le dernier bus nous ne pouvions pas attendre le suivant, donc nous avons fini par traverser le long pont à pied, dans la chaleur et l'humidité, à la nuit tombante. Arrivés de l'autre côté, j'étais tellement couvert de ...

... with plenty of services, a 5 stars hotel and a bunch of souvenir shops and all this typical tourist stuff. To complete the experience we decided to book to boat trip that gets you closer to the falls. Not as close to the ...

... down the rapids before going UNDERNEATH some of the falls! It sounded really cool, even if it wasn't cheap.<br><br>When we visited the park yesterday we requested to have our tickets stamped, which meant that we could get in today ...
