Cordoba - Students and German U-boats!

Last day in Cordoba today. Argentinas second biggest city. Too be honest my least favourite of all the places we have been so far. It´s a big city, but not that much to see. The centrer is more like an typical English shoping centre. Got some boxer shorts which were really expensive! They don´t sell things in packs here. I think a gap in the market! We went out to an all you can eat restaurant and then went to club where the vodka was about 3 quarters of the glass and the rest coke, so you can imagine it was quite messy! We went on a day trip to 2 German towns. The first I think was called La Cumbracita and the second, Belgrano. The first was a little chalet town set in the Sierras Grande. It was okay, but not that special although there was a very pretty waterfall at the end. Belgrano was a town that was settled by the crew of a German u-boat that was damaged by a British ship during WWII. Apparently they wanted it to be a closed German community, but the Argentinians weren´t having it so the Germans burnt the Argentinian flag. The Argentinians weren´t too happy about that so they named the town Belgrano after the guy who designed the Argentinian flag and named every street in Spanish! I think things have calmed down now though! Anyway leaving today for the Iguacu falls. 20 hour bus trip! Apparently they are the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Infact I have spoken to some people who actually got emotional when they saw them so I´m taking tissues! It´s much warmer there; 27 degrees celcius so I can feel some major bronzing coming along. Lots of love!
