The Iguazu Falls
Pete Writes: Our next stop was to Iguazu Falls, we decided that we would not only visit the Argentina side, but we would take a day trip into Brazil to see what their side had to offer as well. We were not disappointed, the Brazilian side has a panoramic view of the falls and we also had a lovely sunny day, which meant that the butterflies and rainbows were out in full force. We managed to get allot of great photos and even managed not to get too wet!!
The second day we found ourselves on the Argentina side which gave us more of a close up view of the falls. The weather unfortunately was not on our side and the heavens opened just after we got up close and personal with one of the falls. We ended up going under one of the falls in a boat which absolutely soaked us, but it was great fun.
After another 24 hour bus we ended up in our final Argentine city (Salta) where we enjoyed our last steak supper (probably the best yet!) and met some Irish lads who we would travel to Bolivia with!
Chloe Writes: The first day in Brazil was hot (I almost got rid of all my winter gear) and as we were in the Jungle the wild life was as magnificent as the view. I felt like i was visiting a butterfly farm and as Pete said, due to the spray of the water and the lovely sunny day we had the most amazing display of rainbows. The second day was wet and to top it all off we got on a boat which took us under one of the waterfalls, having forgot to buy a plastic poncho I was told that i wouldn´t need it as i would get soaked anyway… and that i did. It was great fun though. The view from the Argentinian side gave us a much closer look at the falls which was very impressive.
Its time to say good bye to Argentina, which has been really impressive. I will miss the food and the amazing buses (especially since i know what they will be like in Bolivia), but will not miss having clothes and food pinched from the hostels.

Hi mum,
I sorted out your comment collection for you. We will miss the steaks. We have had some good food here in Bolivia including LLama. The breakfasts are alot better as well as they involve more than just bread and jam.
Have a fantastic time in Corsica,
lots of love xx

Hi Sim,
Unfortunatly the warm weather didnt last long. We woke up from a bus journey at the Bolivian border freezing and have been at a high altitude ever since. Bolivia is an amazing place though and chewing coca leaves helps with the altitude
lots of love x
