A guy from the hostel drove us to the falls. Frederick lost his Brazilian exit papers so he would have to pay 180 Reais fine at immigration. The driver said "Dont worry, I am mafia," and told us to wait on one side. We later found out that he gave some chini chini (R20) to the customs and got Frederick the exit stamp. This guy also wore the leather jacket, the cowboy boots and the hat!
Falls were excellent. More dramatic than the Brazilian side.
We were supposed to stay a night at Puerto Iguazu but found out there was a 7.30 p.m. bus to Buenos Aires and we decided to take it. The coach was really good. Got blankets, pillows, bigger seats than an aeroplane (like club class), hot dinner, free wines, whisky. Pretty impressive. Roohi had kept doubting Akshay when he had said that the coaches in Argentina were really pretty good. But now she agrees. 19 hrs to Buenos Aires! (were told 16 hrs!)

Buses in Argentina
Whisky??? Wow, which company was that? I knew about the wine and hot food but I never had whisky...in some buses they play bingo with you and you can win a bottle of wine :-)(My neighbour won it and gave it to me :-)) Oh, by the way, are you members of hostelling international? Because you get a discount on some buses with that card. Itīs very cheap in Argentina and valid for 1 year!
Greetings from cold Germany, Maja
TKK!
That's the way to get things done I guess...
