Iguazu Falls - the biggest waterfalls in the world!

At arriving to Puerto Iguazu I met Kiernan from Ireland and we ended up going to the same hostel. The next day we took a trip to the Argentinian side of the fall, or Las Cataratas del Iguazú . If was quite spectacular (ekkert midad vid dettifoss samt;). We started by taking a boat trip where we sailed all the way up to one part of the falls and then under it!!. Needless to say...everybody got soaking wet! After that we went to the biggest part and wow...reminded my a little bit of Niagara falls. After a great day at the falls I saw no need to see the falls from the Brazilian side also. I had managed to book a flight from Foz do Iguaçu
(the city on the Brazilian side) to Rio De Janeiro, and left the next morning. But not without having a one last Argentinian steak the night before:).
It is funny how there is almost no communication between Puerto Iguazú in Argentina and Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil...meaning that one side does not know about anything or cares about anything the other side is doing, or how things work there. A girl from my hostel Deb had the same flight to Rio so a guy from the hostel drove us across the border to the Airport in Foz do Iguaçu. He said that we did not have to get a stamp at the Brazilian border because we could get it at the airport...Wrong!!! So as we were checking in we got a little bit of a chock when we found out that we had to go back to the brazilian border go get a stamp!! So we had to get a very expensive taxi to do this....fortunately we were there in good time so we got our flight. Since, I have found out that there is no great love beetween these two nations. Brazilians don´t like Argentinians and vise versa.
It was very sad to leave Argentina as it has without a doubt changed my life. My stay there will always be remember as a the happiest time of my travels in South America. :)

p.s. The next part of the travel story (my Rio de Janeiro adventures) will probably be written from Copenhagen as I will be arriving there the day after tomorrow (friday the 10th of March). So take care and I´ll see many of you very soon!!! :)
p.s.² : I was going to put in some original photos but the internet in Rio basically sucks big time! But you can look forward to some very nice photos very soon :)
