It's been a crazy few days.
Crazy. Amazing. Beautiful. Fun. Drunken.
Leaving Buenos Aires after a big night out with the super fun crowd on my tour we made our way north to Brazil on the overnight bus ride to beat all overnight bus rides...18 hours later we arrived at the border and entered the land of samba and caparinhas...
We have spent the last few days at Iguazzu Falls, admiring the power of these amazing falls from both sides of the border - the Brazilian side for an overview and the Argentinian side for an up close and personal inspection - including a speed boat ride underneath to be completely soaked by the spray. The falls are up there with the most breathtaking and generally coolest thing I have seen in the entire world in my life. To describe them would be impossible and I have spent quite a lot of time just staring at them, pinching myself that I am actually here, in Brazil, experiencing such an amazing sight.
When I'm not playing under waterfalls I have been spending time with my new friends, eating at fun restaurants and drinking many many caparinas. A healthy mixture of aussies (of course), brits and scandinavians most of us are young and up for a good time, letting our hair down every night and holding parties in our rooms after hitting the town.
Heading to a bar a couple of nights ago we danced the night away to some latin tunes and chatted in spanglish to the locals. Last night we were invited to a barbeque with some other GAP tour groups that are here at the moment. The local contact here who transports us around often holds barbeques for the groups at his house....an amazing place with pool and built in barbeque it was the ultimate party venue and as we drank even more caparinas and munched on the most delicious steak we met other travellers before dancing the night away under the stars.
It hasn't been anything less than completely full on and we are looking forward to the next few days which will be a little more relaxed as we travel by another overnight bus tonight to Paratay....which to me sounds like 'party' always a good sign....a beach town where we plan to do some boat trips and chillax under the brazilian sun.
Till next time...
