OK I am writin the blog entry 4 Foz de Iguacu Brazilian side. Now I mainly have one thing 2 say bout it and that is WOW. However that will mean nothing 2 anyone except j and manj. This is one of the things that we set out of UK 2 c and I am soooo glad.
We set out with our tour guide from our hostel, and due 2 the normal lang barrier made complete planks of ourselves, the locals were amused, but we are now used 2 this. Then they took us on some vanny pullie thing throu their national park and pointed out some trees, after the Amazon jungle trek this was not that impressive. But then we got on a speed boat and we sat near the front, and those who know me would know that bein on a speed boat would have bout out my childish side and I was sooooo excited. The bloke driving drove us 2wards the falls, at first u jus got random glimpses of falls here and there. But then boy does it come in2 view and boy is it amazing, they are huge. U just cant imagine. We did the whole
in front of the biggest waterfall of iguasu
was the most AMAZING sight and sound you could ever see or heartourist thing and took several hundred pics. Then the guys were like ok put ur cameras away and then in my opinion the driver was showin of with the speed boat, but it was still kool. Coz they started takin u closer 2 some of the falls and we got absolutely soaked. Then u go on this walk and see the falls from diff angles. I have 2 say that this is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Niagara Falls is nothin, nothing I say or no matter how many pics we took could do it any justice. Its amazing. We did wat we now call our standin and starin time. Oh oh oh and we saw a rainbow, was v. pretty.
Right i’m also doin Puerto de Iguacu which is the falls on the Argentinan side (oh it took us like half an hour 2 cross the border and it wasnt very dramatic it was on a normal bus - i feel robbed.) But anyway, I thought we had seen it all on the Brazilian side, but guys its crazy it is soooooooooo amazing on this side. U get a overall perspective of the falls on the Brazil side and u get a closer perspective of the falls on the Argentinan side. U walk up and u are sooooo close 2 the falls and u feel the impact spray and in that heat it feels gd. However we spent 9hrs walkin and u have 2 do some trekking up hill on these stairs and then down hill, dont get me wrong it was worth it but they were a killer. Theres this little island in the middle that gives u a really gd view. 2 be honest i jus have no way of describing it, it was breath taking, I could literally stay there forever. It is by far one of the best things that I have ever seen. Theres nothing that i can add 2 that. Oh and a random point when u say thank you 2 the Brazilians (Obrigado) they say Deeeee Naaadaaaaaaaaaaaaa (which means its nothing). The way they say it I love it, we love it, they drag it on and its like they mean it not jus its the polite thing 2 say. The Argentinans dont do the same, im gona miss Brazil and so are the girls and esp they way the say de nada. Sorry I is Suhi.
