Big Water!!

View Round the world trip on bruntonal's travel map.

Iguazu River (guazu meaning big in Guarani and I means water - stick with us kids, were a font of knowledge) is home to the most spectacular falls we have ever seen and if we were American we might even be tempted to call them AWESOME. The Brazilian side of the falls gives you a more panoramic view, but you can get much closer (and wetter!) on the Argentinian side. We´ve finally been blessed with some hot weather and when the sun shines on the falls, rainbows and swifts appear, which is very pretty.

We think we are best letting the pictures and videos speak for themselves though; suffice to say that this has been the best few days we have spent away so far. The scenery is breathtaking, as hopefully you will see....

Well, is that enough pictures of waterfalls? Are you still awake? Just wait for the slide show presentations we`re going to host when we get home! We have many more photo`s of the falls to delight you with.

One observation on bus queuing - this does not exist in Brazil or Argentina - The Bruntons have had to tut a few times as we have lost our place in line. It is typical for us to be last to get on the bus even though we were first at the stop.
