This entry is going to be predominantly pictures. Our journey from Curitiba passed without incident and we successfully crossed the border into Argentina. A Japanese companion of ours did not fare so well. Her whereabouts remain unknown.
We then encountered our biggest obstacle of our whole trip. A medieval shower. Tom, for all his supposed intelligence, managed to flood the bathroom not once, but twice. This led to our French room-mate describing the bathroom as a "f***ing piscine".
We began our tour of the Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side which gave us a breathtaking overview of the National Park. If none of you have had the opportunity to visit the waterfalls, just imagine them like the shower in your bathroom. But bigger. And more of them. And more powerful. And with more visitors.
At the Devil's Throat
After a night in at our hostel meeting some of the fellow travellers (did you hear the one about the Swede, the Frenchman, the German and the Brit?), we made our way to the Argentinian side of the falls. Nothing could prepare us for the sight which scorched our retinas. The falls were like something out of Jurassic Park with the dinosaur's roles being played by the fat tourists (you can guess their nationality). We spent a whole day walking around the park being ambushed at every corner by racoons, and even worse, hundreds of butterflies. Quite beautiful at first but they became increasingly aggressive.

At the Devil's Throat
We are currently in Buenos Aires and tomorrow morning we have a flight out to El Calafate in Patagonia. Will be blogging about Buenos Aires in the next few days.
