During our 8 months of travelling we have experienced many things that have rendered us speachless. I think you will agree that this is odd for a couple like us who seem to never stop talking! Almost every country that we have been to so far has had a least one "Wow moment". Seeing and experiencing Iguazu Falls has left us utterly lost for words to describe it adequately. Our attempt at doing so is below, though we know our words, picture and video attached, only cover the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy.... After arriving at our hostel early in the [View Full Entry]

All i can say is wow. We left for Iguazu Falls on May 2. It is only an hour and a half flight from B.A. I had high expectations of one of natures most amazing destinations, but i was blown away.The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometres of the Iguazu River all accesible by metal walking paths or small trains. You can get up to just mere inches away from the water. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 metres in height, though the majority are about 64 metres. The Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat in [View Full Entry]

Day 222 - Tuesday 29 April My bus arrived in Puerto Iguazu early afternoon and even though its only a small town, I´ve decided to pay an extra 50p and stay somewhere close to the bus station thats had good reviews. After BA I don't want to do myself over agin just to save 50p a day. With it only being half an hour to kick off in the Man Utd v Barcelona champions league semi-final I quickly rushed out to find somewhere showing it. It actually turned out quite difficult as its only a small town and most of the [View Full Entry]

Day 7 Nese! Nese! Nese! Went to see the footy at the Maracana between Fluminese and Botafogo. It was the cup final so all was a bit mental. We were in the Fluminese end as we went with the owner of the hostel who is a big fan. There were flags and flares and drums banging way before the start of the match, better than anything the Brits have got to offer, apart from the mighty Darlo of course, nothing like 4000 in a 25000 capacity. Anyway, great game, the atmosphere was immense, but ´Nese lost 1-0 even though Botofogo had [View Full Entry]

Enchanting falls.. Back over the boarder, a bus ride from the grass planes to the jungle from dry to hot humid and a wee bit sticky, a 3km walk along the highway under somewhat intense sun... wondering all the time why nobody from the eldridge side has bothered to write yet...(apart from the fact you all work in front of computers) hint hint..... anyway we got to play with a baby lepoard for a while and blew us both quite away... hungry buzzards, lots of big tigers to look at close enough to eat us... buses buses and more buses, a [View Full Entry]

Vel fremme i byen etter den faele bussturen gikk for aa booke en ny busstur til Rio de janeiro to dager senere:) Denne turen skulle ta 23 timer (og bare det haapet vi:) Vi fikk saa innlosjert oss for natten og det ble en rolig kveld. Neste dag skulle vi til de beromte iguazu Falls som blir betegnet som verdens mest spektakulaere vannfall. Det er over 300 vannfall og det storste strekker seg over 700m i bredden og 40 - 80 m i hoyden. Vi hadde booket en biltur gjennom jungelen og en baattur som tok deg naermere vannfallene. Etter ankomst [View Full Entry]

Eng version below Wodospady Iguazu znajduja sie na terenie Parku Narodowego Iguazu, na granicy Argentyny i Brazylli. Halas, nieprawdopodobna ilosc wody, moc wodospadu robia niesamowite wrazenie. Szczegolnie stojac na skraju tzw Garganta (gardlo, zdjecie 10, 11, 13) czlowiek czuje sie malenki. Piekne, magiczne miejsce, idealne na pozegnanie z Argentyna. Niestety dzien, ktory tam spedzilismy, byl dosc pochmurny. Kiedy jest slonecznie nad wodospadami rozposcieraja sie tecze. Podobno w czasie pelni ksiezyca, mozna zobaczyc tecze ksiezycowa. Droga do wodospadow wiedzie przez dzungle, w ktorej roi sie od ptactwa, owadow, nawet malpy udalo sie zobaczyc (znow bardzo brakowalo teleobiektywu). Sa tez mniej przyjemne owady. [View Full Entry]

Well, I wanted this entry to be called Curitiba and Foz do Igua(insert c with the thing here)u, but since my Argentinian keyboard is xenophobic, I had to call it Curitiba and Puerto Iguazu instead. When I had last written I was in Curitiba, a beautiful city full of universities and culture and fun. Well, after a beautiful night´s sleep in the university dorm I got a day´s full of cultural analysis in. I checked my emails, had some breakfast at the corner cafe before racing off to have a shower. I raced back to the Plaza at the University just [View Full Entry]

Sunday 13th April Not slept too well but looking forward to Argentina today. Good breakfast and by 830am we're on our way. The border is well set-up for day-trippers... Our driver takes our passports and 20 minutes later they're all stamped (on new pages unfortunately!). By 10am we're in the park and on the 'jungle safari' (hmmm... Bit of flora/fauna but no animals). The 'safari' ends and we walk down to the river edge where we get onto the speed boat. We're given wet-bags to put everything in, and I case up my camera in its waterproof housing. Pretty gentle trip [View Full Entry]

So what do you do if your an under paid teacher looking for better conditions? Obvious isn't it, you set up a road block on the only road into town and don't let anyone pass including foot traffic. Well thats what happens in Argentina as we have found out. We arrived at Puerto Iguazu airport yesterday to find out we could not get a taxi into town to our hotel and so took the only option which was to head straight to the falls and leave our backpack in lockers. As it turned out chance gave us this great oppertunity and [View Full Entry]
