Argentina

After the nasty 24 hour coach jouney we arrived in Iguazu about 10am, I was totally shattered as didn´t sleep well on the coach...although the coach was so cool, huge seats, fully reclining, really comfortable, but not quite enough for me to sleep too well.We chilled out for a while when we got here, hotel is lovely, so not a basic trip as I have a hairdryer in the room this time, true luxury!
In the afternoon we went over to Paraguay, it was so bizzare. We walked across a bridge and then we were 2 hours behind Brazilian time and I felt like I was walking in Singapore, not that I have been there yet, but it´s just like I imagine. Electrical stores everywhere and street vendors just coming up to you trying to sell you things...heaps of women trying to sell me socks. I ended up losing my politeness after a while! On Simons sugestion I bought a big memory stick to put my photos on. We wondered back across the border, and I had a little evening nap. We went for the worst meal I have had so far, it really wasn´t worth the 2quid I paid for it
Yesterday we went across to Argentina and looked at the falls from that side, it was totally amazing, completely took my breath away. The expanse of the falls in incredible, so hard to describe as it is just unbelieveable. I was very snap happy, totally loving it. We walked around and then got a truck into the sub tropical rainforest, unfortunately didn´t see too much though. We then went on a boat ride aruound the falls, it was wicked! It took us right under the falls, the smaller falls, not the devils throat but it was great. the water was lush and at 41 degrees it was much appreciated.
Today I had my first hangover, we went to a bar last night and proceeded to make our way through the cocktail menu. Jennifer (my roomy) and I were so rough this morning. Yesterday was amazing, but today was totally spectacular. The best hangover cure is a helicopter ride over the falls. Noone else in the group wanted to do it, but I´ve never been in a helicopter and I didn´t want to miss the opportunity. There are no words to descibe the experience, totally out of this world. I am so lucky! I sat next to the pilot and got some superb photos, lets just hope I don´t lose them! Until I went up in the helicopter I didn´t realise just how huge the area is. depending on the rainfall there is between 100 and 300 waterfalls. We saw the falls from the Brazilian side today, it was far better than the Argentina side. Today was the best day of my travels so far, it was so exciting, I loved it! Waiting around now to leave for Salto in Uraguay, hopefully having a relaxing day tomorrow. In Salto for one night. TTFN!
