Brazil

Totally amazing, are the only words I can use to describe my time in Puerto Iguazu. After a near 30 hour bus journey, the excitement had worn a little to be honest. We stayed in a hostel and we got to meet so many interesting and friendly people! The first day we just took it easy to be honest beside the pool and went to see the little town which really consisted of tourist shops and that was about it. We went to the Iguazu falls which were out of this world. Really, the words and photos don´t do the place justice but all I can say is that I had the best day of my life! On the Argentinian side, you got up so close as if you could reach out and touch the water! we also went into the spead boat into the middle of the falls and got totally drenched. The quickest 13 minutes of my life but hey! We also visited the falls on the Brazil side and to be honest was a total different picture. Instead of being dead close it was a futher but just as impressive view. During the whole trip all I got called by Naomi and Helen was "David Attinburgh" because I took like 3 pictures, ok maybe 4 of wildlife. My dream has always been to see rainforest so of course I was in my element! One evening, Helen and I decided to go for a swim in the pool and of course, the lovely Naomi took all of our stuff which was a tad embarassing due to the fact the bar besdie the pool was packed! Anyhow ... we also go to see where the 3 boarders met of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay which is pretty cool to be able to say that you cans ee 3 countries at once. Thankfully, the visa renwal went according to plan and was straight forward unlike what the guide book had suggested. On the journey home was the most biazarre, the bus driver invited me to sit in the front seat with his collegues to drink mate (a tradition drink like herbal tea). For 3 hours we sat chatting away and having a laugh. At one point, imagine 1.30 ish in the morning the driver suggested I drove and the funny thing he was being deadly serious! His reasoning, there was no one on the read. Imagine Megan driving a huge coach! Brilliant. Well we def made friends and it helped break up the journey on the way home! All in all, we had a fantastic time, home a little more brown, a little more blonde and with thousands of photos! Have a look!
