Foz do Iguaçu

Hi all!

Thanks for all your comments - we love seeing them, and well done Stu for winning yourself a postcard! It´ll be in the post soon but may take a couple of weeks 😊

Well, we´ve made it to the next major highlight of the tour - Iguassu Falls! Utterly, utterly amazing and breaktaking! Luckily for you we´re not boring you with all 110 photos of the 285 different waterfalls at all angles, but even so the photos we took don´t do them justice!

We spent the first side on the Argentian side, where we basically took different walks above the different falls - Devil´s Throat (main bit), 3 Musketeers.. and then went on a boat ride which beats all Chessington Adventures! The boat ride was US$30 and unmissable for anyone heading that way (thanks to mum and dad for having some left over American money - this one (& 2 ice lollies) were on you! :D ). The ride takes you right up to some of the waterfalls, so that you get more angles for yet more photos. The driver was brilliant too - he swayed to each side so that you felt you were going to fall and then surprised us all (including the camera man) by actually taking us under 2 of the waterfalls and drenching us all. Let´s just say Eric´s grin was bigger than ever and we all wanted to do it again!

Today we went to the Brazilian side, this side gives great panoramic shots (yes more photos) of all the falls, and makes you realise just how big they are and how many there are. Not much to say - its awesome to see (my new word) and just, like, come and see it for yourself!

We also visited the biggest dam in the world - it provides power for 90%!o(MISSING)f Paraguay and 25%!o(MISSING)f Brazil. Not the most exciting excursion on our trip but good to see.

Last night we went to a dinner show which had dances from all around South America. Although a couple were cheesy, it was well worth it. The food may have been the nicest so far - tender, tasty chicken and loads of choice- Eric was eating for about 2 1/2 hours and we all found it hard to move after. Highlights were the capoeira martial arts/dance (really cool!), the samba, Brazilian carnival bit, a bloke with 2 balls of fire at the end of some metal chains that moved them so fast it looked like a ring of fire, Mexican famous song which we can´t remember, Evita in Spanish. The tango was good but not as good as the movies.

So having a brilliant time, photos will be up soon! Hope you´re all well, hello from both of us!

Quick question
the cameraman who was surprised..did his camera get wet? seems a bit harsh for the boat dude to all of a sudden turn the boat under a waterfall without telling people who had cameras out...or am i being a ninny?

Oh my god!
I'm so jealous of you guys! everything you have done so far looks amazing-and what you havent been there two weeks yet!! you guys are guna have to save some money to buy about 100 photo albums for when you get back!! I have been working away like a busy little bee so it seems like ages and ages ago when i wished you farewell but i'm on the last stretch and will be off in 3 weeks too YAY cant wait. Keep having an amazing time! lol kate xxx

Hey guys, What an amazing time you're having. The smile on your faces say it all! :) The photos are beautiful. Loving the stories and looking forward to the next entry. Take care, love and kisses Ixx

Wow!
Hellooo! Wow I wasn't expecting to see so much when I checked the site out. You're evidently having an amazing time - the pictures are just breathtaking too. I'm totally jealous right now! It's great reading about your experiences, though, and seeing the pics, so keep it up! And man, those waterfall shots..that boat ride must have been an experience you'll never forget -__- Until next time! : ) Tanya xXx

It can't be true!
hey guys, You look like you're having the best ever time. Am so jealous - it rained, hailstoned AND snowed sleet here in the bog smoke today!!! As I looked out of my office window in Covent Garden... sob sob!! Can you believe it!? I can't however believe that Eric's smile can get any bigger than it was before he went travelling. Also - how is he coping without Cheese on toast? Does he get worse hangovers wihtout 3.30 servings of cheese on toast. Only this blog will tell - I'll keep an eye out. But guys - pictures look amazing - and they only show a snippet of how amazing the scenery really is in real life. Wow. Keep up the good work, and I hope you find the golden carrot - dont let Eleni eat it - I know what she's like with carrots, but the golden carrot has great powers and should not be put into a fajita ;) Take care peops, Jen xxx

Eric and his waterfalls
You can't drag him away from them. He loves a good waterfall he does.

Wow! How did you pull it off
Hi guys!! Ok, you win, we're all officially jealous. The pics are wonderful and you guys are obviously having a wonderful time together. Especially since you guys are loaded .... (hint hint :-)) Cummon, don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. It's big news here -- $43.5 million gone from the vault in Kent!! Poor Bank of England. You'll have to tell me how you managed to be in South America and Kent at the same time. It'll be our little secret... But this is great news ... now you guys can afford to fly us all to Peru -- think they'll resurrect the Concorde for us? Otherwise, a private jet will do. Just tell me when the plane's gonna pick us up and we'll be ready. See you in Machu Picchu in a week of so. Toodles!!! :-)
