Big Steaks and Big Waterfalls... Northern Argentina Has It All

So after landing in Argentina we have raced across the northern aspect to the border of Brazil to see the Iguazu Falls on the Argentina side first (tomorrow we hit Brazil and then to meet Kiran in Rio).

Basically since hitting Argentina we have sat around in nice central plazas sipping coffee and having tasty snacks during the day and meandering around the cities of Salta and Tucuman. At night we have wandered some more and ate large quantities of food (the only quantity you get is large or larger or ¨check me straight into hospital for gastric banding¨sizes). Some amzing things we saw were that the schoolkids uniform is basically a lab coat (weird) and that people still doing breakdancing in public places in Argentina.... so retro!

It has been a lot less excursion based so far. We did have a plan to stop off in a few towns on our way across but on stopping off in Corrientes having a wander around the town we decided it was a fairly shabby and the most impressive thing about it was that it had a big river that fed into the Iguazu Falls and best to just get back on another bus while we were in the bus travel zone and get to see those mighty falls. We also found out that if you fall asleep on the bus and miss your stop where they said you have to change buses it can actually save you a fair bit of money if your bus keeps going to where you want to go!

So we have landed in Puerto Iguazu to see the Falls. They were amazing! Sarita and I were memorized by them. The falls are famous too as they have been in a James Bond and Indian Jones and Miami Vice movies. Impressive hey!
