Foz do Iguazu - Parana - Brazil
It´s been rather the while since I´ve posted and I´d say once I get the pics up they´ll tell the story of what I´ve been doing better than this will. Well I´ve been pretty busy since last time I posted what with family being over and moving town and so on. Rio is behind us now but I´ve resolved to go back soon if not just to see the Swiss town and the sloth recuperation centre! At the moment we´re at Foz do Iguacu on the Brazilian, Argentinian and Paraguayan borders. We´re constantly being tempted to "Visite o Paraguay e compre na Mona Lisa" (Visit Paraguay and buy the Mona Lisa). The veracity of the goal of this request is dubious to me but I do hope to pop over for a bit anyway to see how it is. The falls are pretty amazing, taller than Niagara and wider than the Vistoria falls. The border between Argentina and Brazil cuts the river and the falls with the lion´s share on the Argentinian side though the view from here is pretty damn good. We´ll explore the Argentinian side in the nexy while and say goodbye to Brazil. I can´t believe I´ve been here a month! I think I´ll really miss it, though not the caipirinha´s, they must be much better drinkers herethan me, I find them very very strong though I can imagine a few people I know liking the sugar cane spirit, cachaca :). Not many minutes remain in my internet access so I must be brief. In Rio we went hanggliding which was fantastic and has made me want to join a club in Ireland. Yesterday we wne to a bird park and had some toucan sit about 50cm away from us aswell as seeing little raccoon thingies which were really cute and lots of very cute lizards! I even managaed to get very close to a big butterfly and not get too scared. I also went to a German town high in the mountains in Rio de Janeiro state for Easter Sunday and had some lovely melted chocolate with marshmellow. It was a bit surreal, so alpine but with palm trees! We also lost a travel companion. Not literally, she went back to England. Goodbye Christine, I´ll be visiting soon, especially for those scones!Saw some serious waves on Ipanema, must´ve been 15 ft tall! You´d be jealous, Edel.Went to see a match at the Maracana which felt smaller than I thought but was impeccably clean. The match was good too! :)Well I must away now but I´ll update again soon! Boa Noite!
