It's been a while between posts - we have been up to all sorts. We arrived in Buenos Aires early morning to discover it's freezing!! During our time there we enjoyed lots of meat, red wine, empanadas and churros. B.A is a very big city to explore, the highlights were the markets, the cemetery and the tango show (where we got a tango lesson - hillarious!)
From B.A we met up with our tour group and took a ferry to Colonia in Uruguay, where we were excited to have some warm weather. We hired a golf cart and explored this quaint town - we survived driving on the wrong side of the road and it provided many laughs. We almost killed our new friends when the brakes failed!!
Next we went to Montevideo (the capital of Uruguay) and then onto Salto. Our time in Salto was short but we went to the thermal springs where we had a massage which was very nice!! That night we had a 12 hour bus trip to Puerto Iguassu, it was a long night and when we arrived in Argentina we went to visit the Brazillian side of the falls which had some amazing views and we were able to walk on a bridge right under the falls. The next day we went across to the Argentinian side where we got a closer look, we went for a jet boat ride underneath which was hillarious!! That night our tour leader introduced us to a BBQ - brazillian style. We drunk a lot of Caprihannas and ate some delicious meat. The next day was Sian's birthday - yay! We spent the WHOLE day travelling, we left Iguassu at 5.30pm and arrived in Paraty the next day at 6pm. We were very tired but still managed to celebrate Sian's birthday in style - which ended at a party on the beach and a long trip home after getting lost! The boat trip in Paraty was amazing, we spent the day drinking cocktails and swimming in the beautiful ocean - definitely a highlight! Wish we could have spent longer there!
