Iguazu

So we headed off on the best bus class available for the 18 odd hour ride to Iguazu. Nice set up it was too with 180 degree (flat) bed seats. So when we arrived we were quite reluctant to jump off the comfy bus. Into the very cool hostel we went complete with outdoor cooking area by the pool. The next day it chucked it down, so we nervously left our waterfall trip to the next day knowing it would be our final chance. So after the quiet day off cooking and consuming we went to bed with fingers crossed. It worked! Fine day (not as forecast) awaited us for the trip to the falls after Rhi and I picked up our Brazilian visa's.
We spent the day exploring one of the new natural wonders of the world. As you can see from the flickr photos hundreds of awesome waterfalls cascading though the jungle peppered with wildlife. I think one of the main problems with South America is they simply don’t charge enough for their jewels. It cost us less than $70 Aus for the whole day which included the optional jet boat under some of the falls. They equip you with a waterproof bag and you get absolutely soaked as they steer the boats under the falls (a must do if you go). You will have to wait for the holiday ending feature film to see the in boat footage. Devils throat is the largest waterfall of them all as you will see in some of the pics. To get here you take the free little train around the top of the national park and then trek on the overwater walkway for over 1km to the perfect viewing deck which is dauntingly close to the powerful waterway.
Our last morning was relaxing with a final feed of leftover pasta before jumping on the less amazing 24hour bus to Rio!
