Buenos Aires We set off from our motel at 4am to get to Cairns airport. We had a 3 hour flight to Sydney followed by a 13 hour flight to Buenos Aires with a 1 hour delay!! We crossed the date line and ended up arriving at BA at 10.30am on the 15th - half a hour earlier than we had set off in Sydney!! How weird!!

Fantastic
I have always loved waterfalls but have obviously NEVER seen anything like these. I am sure your photos do them justice. I am so sorry you will not get to Chile a country I have always wanted to visit. But SO pleased you stayed longer in Argentina. I am sure you will still enjoy the other SA countries you visit. Your blogs bring the whole country/city alive. Thank you Love Liz

What a relief!
Yes what a relief you weren't caught up in the Chilean earthquake, and I suppose having to forego seeing Chile is a small price to pay. But Argentina seems very impresive, and the Iguazu Falls - Wow! ( a bit different to the Huka Falls eh?). It was great to see you both when you skyped Mum and Dad (and a relief all round), and you both looked wonderfully well and happy. Looking forward to the rest of the South American travels. Take care. Lots of love Aunty Kathy and Uncle Lennie xxxx
