yeah so i have now left sao paulo and am at the iguacu falls one of the seven wonders of the world!
at the border of argentina, paruguay and brazil, just south of the itaipu damn are a load of big waterfalls (one of them being the most powefull in the world, i think) called the iguacu falls and theyre pretty spectacular!
we arrived in the brazilian border town of foz thursday lunchtime, met some irish people, and with them got a bus into town (were staying just out of town on the way to the falls) foz itself is a bit of a dump, but we still had a wonder around and just killed time.
friday was much more interesting as lots of things happend which havent happened before or at least in a long time. the first thing of which was i got cold! how unfair is that?! im in brazil and it was overcast all day and i got properly cold for the first time in i dont know how long! the second thing is i left brazil for the first time since comming here. thats right i went to see the argentine side of the falls which despite the weather were absoloutely stunning (im not sure if they were better then vic falls), you got absoloutely soaked by the spray from the falls and at times could even see the river bellow, just a white cloud of mist! i think the third thing to happen was i had to try to speak spanish which is flipping annoying as i am just getting to the stage where everything is comfortable with my portuguese! (silly other languages!)
so yeah, yesterday was really fun, and ended with a meal in town with a couple of germans (they get everywhere!) who are currently on a trip around the worl, funny guys.
today we are off to see the brazilian suide of the falls and maybe an avary, then sunday we are going to get a bus to salta in argentina then hop over to bolivia and maybe meet up with a bulgarian we met yesterday.
anyways having lots of fun, missing everyone at home lots.
god bless!
