Iguazu Falls
As always an update on Mum - she was last seen sitting in a lazy boy chair drinking tea - an amazing woman and I will look forward to giving her a big hug when I get back - albeit a gentle one as her chest will still be sore. I have had no texts today which I will take as good news.

Now we have been on the Argentine side of the falls today, soaked, cold but absolutely stunned. I dont think any of the few hundred photos will do the place justice but I dont think any of us have seen anything as wonderful in our lives. The immense power of the water is just to difficult to behold, I remeber standing in froint of Tane mahuta the big Kauri tree up north and feeling like I was in the presence of something huge, but sadly today it does not compare - the falls are amazing andjustify their place in the wonders of the world and sorry Terry they are better than you could imagine.

I have just loaded a few photos to give you a taste. And also this time maybe my videos will work -

Kids are coping
Hi folks, yesterday was a low day for me as Mum was bad, but the kids are coping although they had a bit of problems with funny money yesterday. Two hundred pesos notes proved to be fake and they either came from the money machine or were swapped by a taxi driver showing them that their money was forged. Clare and I dont seem to have been hit yet but we did not buy and bits in the markets where I think most fake money was handed out.
