The final encounter of our group

Nowhere else was ever going to live up to the sights at Iguassu so the next few stops were a little tedious. First was San Ignacio and the Jesuit Ruins. There was not much to do here so spent most of our time playing cards and getting beaten by the Irish, cheers Cathy & John you taught me some good cheats!!

Next Salto and it´s hot springs and weird sand club, quite an amusing night, Cathy and John providing much of the entertainment rolling around in the sand so drunk they couldnt get up. Again other than this not much to do so we were not happy when Pablo told us we couldn´t get on the bus to Montivideo that day so we had to do another uncomfortable overnight bus journey and miss our night in Montivideo. Oh well, probably just as well as I was still quite hungover from the night before and my whole body ached after falling down the marble stairs so at least I had all day to recover!

They are so huge and after visiting the Brazillian side, the Argentinian Side, doing a helicopter ride over them, a speedboad ride in them, walking through the rainforest (and boy did it rain!), abseiling down a small waterfall in the rainforest and zipwiring through the rainforest I feel I know the area quite well!!
