Arrived quick and easy.  Iguazu is lovely and hot. Up nice and early this morning to go and see the falls, want to miss all the tourists. Went to a weird place yeaterday where they have made a place out of huge ancient trees, the entrance was made out of 2 trees one being over a million years old.  They had 3 huge halls, a bar a fridge, tea machine and a telephone box all made out or in these old trees. pictures to follow.

Update:
Have now been to the falls - just simply amazing, definatly one of the best natural wonders of the world, takes your breath away, you just want to stand there for hours simply looking at the falls.  Managed to get there early and avoid the crowds which was good. We would see part of the falls, and think it was amazing, and then we would turn the corner and see another 10 falls and it becomes even more amazing Some Tree House!
Some Tree House!
 . This happened throughout the day - its massive. The biggest fall is called ´gigantica´ (they really thought long and hard about the names!!) and it looked like a hole in the earth with gallons and gallons of water gushing into it - there was so much spray that it felt like rain, and formed clouds. Amazing. We also took a raft a close as we could to the 2nd biggest waterfall - we got soaking, it was just like we had been dunked underwater - fortunately we were able to dry off on the little island there. Unfortunately our words cannot do it justice - so we will try shortly upload the photos from our little snap camera which will give you a much better idea. But if any of you ever get the chance to come and see it, it is totally worth all the effort. We are now due to fly back to Bueno Aires. Speak then...

Adios
