Brief entry,
Travelled from Curritiba after an aamzing train journey throught he brazilian hills and forest. Got an overnight bus and arrived in Foz de Iguacu on an amzing sunny day. According to the Lonely Planet the falls were closed...but we have come to learn the lonely planet is pretty rubbish word of mouth is definitely more reliable!
Got to the falls, it was like something out of Jurrassic park with all the tour bus rides.
Started at the bottom of the falls with a full emory card and little battery...good start!

Then went to see some truely spectacular sights, never seen such a marvelous natural creation. Did the whole picture thing so you can look and be jealous...also the cheesy posing infront of the falls photos!
Saw some rabid Racoons and kept clear as Owen was not imunised so we figured a bite was not feasible as neither of us could afford to jeopardise beer time for a hospital visit....
The trail worked its way up to the impressive devils mouth and engilfed us in spray to complete the magnitude and power of the waterfall. The brasilian side gave you a tremendous full view of the falls and once we had completed it we headed to Argentina for Maradonna discussions, falklands banter the usual....oh yeah and the Argy side of the falls...
