Foz do Iguacu, Brasil - May 2011

After a gruelling 24 hour bus journey, we arrived in Foz do Iguacu and had to take three buses to get to the HI Paudimar. The journey was worth it though. A sprawling complex in the countryside with a swimming pool, hammocks, bar and restaurant.  
On arrival, we complained that the bus was too cold to sleep and the reception man replied; 'Ah, yes, you must have travelled with Pluma, everyone complains about the temperature of their buses'. Spot on.

Just as an aside, before we get to Foz, these photos were taken in the play area at a service station on the way. It was more like a theme park. Slightly better than one at home.

 I don't think these photos need any explanation.

Today we got the outrageous overview from the Brazilian side of the waterfalls and tomorrow we will head back into Argentina for the third time this trip and get a close up view of the falls. Both of us have been here before (Richard many, many times) but you can not fail to be impressed. They are so amazing, the power and noise is incredible, swifts are circling round and dipping in and out of the spray and you end up soaked. AMAZING.
