6 days in. Sunburnt, of course. Sitting poolside with some reggae right now. All I need is an icy cocktail and the moment would be complete. Unfortunately we greatly underestimated the costs of Argentina and now must temporarily cut back on such luxuries. This means dorm rooms and bread with cheese at every meal for the next few days. But that´s okay, the bread here is good.
We spent most of today at Iguazo falls and the surrounding nature park. Trekking through 40· heat for a couple of hourse paid off when we came face to face with the most gorgeous natural landscape I have ever seen. Even Helen´s shiny new camera couldn´t capture how awe inspiring the falls were. It didn´t stop us from trying though.
Highlight of the trip so far was discovering that boating into the foot of a waterfall is the best way to cool off after a long sweaty hike.
Next stop is Florianopolis, for sun, surf and samba!

ciao!

  1. Sounds wonderful. Except the temperature. Not sure about that. Keep cool.

  2. I bet they make tourists walk round and round in circles for a while so that they appreciate the cool waterfall all the more when they get there (but the elderly just get to take the short path)
