Wooo . Dive right in. Left BA at 3pm yesterday on a very comfy coach with fully reclining seats- designed by Brazilians for long distance travel- "vorsprung durk carnival and beach vollyball" as they say in Brazil. Slept through 2 movies as the tracking was out but it all came good for the "Whole Nine Yards" which I watched and fell asleep just before the end. NUff said. We arrived at Puerto Iguazu (pronounced Ig-wha-su) at 9 this morning so thatīs 18 hours on a bus for 1500 km. About 15 hours too long. Small town and not much happenin so we had a shower and jumped on another bus to go to the Falls and then walked down to the train, to get to the walkway across the Rio Iguazu to the top of the falls.
One of the most breathtalking sights of my life.
A huge river just vanishing over the edge of a cliff. Iīd show you the pics but I USB hasnīt made it up here yet. Gobsmacking...I have a smacked gob. I then got a bit carried away and signed Nomes and I up for a trip in a dinghy down the river. It was quite sedate actually and not much sign of the wildlife so I comboīd that with a trip in a power boat to go out under the falls. We got wet. I thought it was brilliant. I was whooping and hollering. Naomi wasnīt. Iīll leave the description of how she felt up to her. Anyhoo we got back, had a beer and nursed our sunburn and then got the maps out. After a quick time and motion study we realised we have to get south quick so we can do what we want to do - that means another 2500Km in the next two days. So leave here tomorrow at noon for a 21 bus trip to Tucaman. I`m charging the minidisc players as I write. OK Love to you all and congratulations to everyone on
Celebdaq for launching a quite brilliant site.
BTW if anyone reading this is realted to me fjust fancies it could you just make sure that Mum knows we ok? Cheers.
