Saturday

For our first day in Foz we had decided to visit the Argentinian side of the falls. We had heard that the easiest way to do this was on a tour (as they take care of all the border formailities) and being the lazy travelers that we are, we took this option.

The Argentinian side of the falls, has more walking paths and more look outs and a closer look at the falls (they actually have about 2kms of falls to Brazils 1km). Now theres not really a lot to say here but wow!!! Lots and lots of water falling a long long way. We´ll let the photos do the talking but it was very impresive!!!

After we got back we went up the road from our hotel to an all you can eat Brazilian BBQ.

Today was our day for visiting the Brasilian side of the falls. We had also booked a boat trip which drives you up the river through the rapids and take you close to the base of the main falls and dunks you under one of the smaller ones. This was heaps of fun and we ended up like drowned rats - soaked through. We then walked up for the Brazilian view of the falls. Whilst not as close as yesterday it give a great panorama of the falls and once again we will let the photos do the talking. Needless to say we were very impressed once again.

Tomorrow we fly to Rio and we enter the last week of our time in South America. Whilst we will be sad to
