iguazu falls...

oh... my... god...

yeah so i went to the iguazu falls (the argentinian side) and it was the MOST COOLEST AWESOMEST BIGGEST BESTEST nature thing i have ever seen! The falls are huge and amazing they gush millions of litres of water into this giant river. the falls are set in a national park that is really lush and tropical. It absolutely bucketed down for half the time we were there but it didn´t matter, it just made everything lush, glossy and gorgeous. there are three walks you can take around the park; the upper curcuit which gives you an overview of the falls and makes you feel as if you could drop over the edge of them any second, the lower curcuit where you stand under the spray of the falls and get absolutely soaking wet (but it is SO exhilerating!) and the thrid is to a section of the falls called the devils throat which is in fact this enormous canyon where about ten huge water falls empty into and with the mist and the distance (you can~t see the bottom) it honestly looks like the hole that is the end of the earth.

unfortuantely for me the second i walked into the park i ran out of camera battery.. isn´t that always the way? so i only have a few photos and a mate of mine ellie that i was hanging out with there is going to send me some fabulous shots we both took. fingers crossed.

anyway, long and the short of it is, it was absolutley phenomenal. definitely the best thing i~ve done in south america. and the place i stayed in was absurd! it used to be a five star hotel and so has a pool, is absolutely lush... and only cost $12 a night. which is rad since i have almost no money left!

oh yeah, here´s a picture of the falls so you can get some idea of what they look like...
