Blogs from Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, Argentina, South America - page 11

The waterfalls at Iguazú are absolutely breath-taking and well worth the trip to Puerto Iguazú, a small town with not much else going on. We arrived in the tourist town on the morning of the 25th following a 17 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires and got settled into ´Puerto Canoas´, the residencial we spent 3 nights in. It was a nice little hostel, very clean, friendly staff and a kitchen which allowed us to cook all of our own meals. We visited the falls on our 2nd day and were fortunate to have really nice weather as it rained the entire 3rd day we were there. We paid to take the tourist boat (AR.240 each) in the morning which allowed us to get up close and, in certain areas, underneath the falls - we were ... read more

Last time I reported in I had just left a hostel and was on my way to the Terminal de Omnibus (hey, I think it sounds a lot better than plain old bus station) so I could board my bus and make a 16 hour journey north to Iguazu falls. For those who have been wondering if this is really a true version of events; after all, so far I haven't gotten ridiculously drunk and ended up: on a pub crawl with the local underbelly mob (a la Galway); in hospital (a la waterpolo presentation nights); or in a strip club (a la a certain grandmother's wake), all I can say is that I'm working on it... If you are like me, you consider yousrelf reasonably well clued about the world and its sites. It turns ... read more

The day after we visited Iguazu Falls we decided to take a lazy day in which I also wrote my last blog. We lazed by the pool all day and soaked up the sun. Unfortunately I did not prepare myself well enough for this and proceeded to get badly sunburnt. That day as usual it did not feel too bad but the following day unfortunately it popped up nice and red!!! The following morning we packed up the tent and got a lift to the bus station. We then made our way safely and quickly across the border to Argentina (Puerto Iguazu). We knew we were gong to the Argentine side of the falls this day so were in quite a rush!! When we jumped off the bus we were in two minds on whether or ... read more

Before we begin: We wrote this nearly a week ago now but have just published it because of our biggest mistake packing for our trip- not bringing a netbook (small laptop). It has become increasingly difficult to find a) a free computer at our hostels long enough to upload photos and b) a computer that is functioning well enough to upload the photos in the first place! So....you´ll have to be patient. I realize most people enjoy the photos more than the text so I don´t want to post blog entries with no photos. We appreciate you guys reading the posts. We put quite a bit of effort into writingpreparing them (as does Ben if you´re following his blog) but we enjoy doing it. Sometimes, it´s just a bit of a wating game when you don´t ... read more
