Hello again... I´m now in Iguazu, which is on the border between Brazil and Argentina. It was a really crap bus journey from Posadas leaving at 3.30 this morning... we went out to Mentecato for more Caipirinhas and then just headed off to the bus station. It was supposed to be a bed bus, but was just a really crap citysprinter style effort. We had the worst journey ever on incredibly bumpy roads with very little sleep! We got in around 9am and had to sleep for a substantial part of the day, so it was hardly worth it.
In the afternoon, we went to the local wildlife sanctuary. It was really interesting, with lots of birds and animals that are from the local area, such as toucans, monkeys, capybaras, wild cats and talking parrots! Some of the amimals are troublemakers, which is all very Mighty Boosh, and are in animal prison for a period until they are straightened out! There are also several animals that are there being taken care of in the rehabilitation centre following accidents of some kind. We got a guided tour from an English speaking guide, which was really interesting, especially considering we were in a rainforest.
Afterwards, we had a dip in the hostel pool. The moon was just up and I was really surprised to see that it is lying on its side here, apparently this is how it appears in the Southern Hemisphere. This completely blows my mind.
This computer is very annoying as the puncutation buttons aren't working, so I can't get it to do certain things. I'm not going to write much more, except to say that tomorrow morning at 8 am we are off to the Falls, which I can't wait for. But before that, we have a barbeque and another night out!
Until the next chance I get to write... hasta luego.
