Igazu Falls.....wow.....

Hey everyone!

I hope you´re all well =)

Well my last week in Buenos Aires was quite fun. Besides school I took an exciting trip to the airport to go and pick up my camera that my family sent from home. First it was an adventure to actually find the place at the airport, and then once I found the place I had to go from office to office a great many times before finally paying the releasing fee and getting my camera. The nice man who took my money gave me some cake though which was nice, and the experience really tested my Spanish! Very random.

Friday was the last day of school and so of course we went out to celebrate and ended up out on a marathon 12 hr drinking session. Fun!

Saturday Andrew and I hopped on a bus very hungover to Port Igazu, Argentina. 20 hrs later we arrived early Sunday morning and managed to find a hostel. We went to visit the falls Monday and Tuesday, on the Argentinian side. I was really speechless. The falls are just absoulutely amazing, definitely in my top 10 things i´ve seen. Unfortunately I cant put pictures up on this computer but when I get to the next one I promise I will. They´re awesome! We did a cool boat trip up the river that took us under a couple of waterfalls, lots of fun. We also did a lovely walk and saw lots of wildlife - and yesterday, even a Tucan! Ooh and we went out for dinner to a Parilla and got a mixed grill (very done here) with yummy intestines and kidneys etc. mmmmmmmmmm.........

Today we ventured to the Brazilian side of the falls (the falls are the border between Argentina and Brazil). I got waylayed at the border so unfortunately the bus left without me and left me all alone =( Luckily I met a lovely couple and we checked out the falls from Brazil. They were just as amazing from Brazil!

Andrew and I are heading off tomorrow (hopefully) for Salta and then Ill be heading off on my own into Bolivia and Peru!

Take care guys,

xo
