The South America RainForest

On Monday, We took an overnight bus to Puerto Iguazu. This is on the Argentine side of the falls. After a long and wet 18 hour ride we arrived at about 2pm. We then started looking for a hostel. After a few failed attempts, Hostel Sweet Hostel was the winner. Our room was small, six beds in a 15 by 7 foot room, the plus was that the bathroom was connected! After dropping off our stuff we went into town, which was only a couple of blocks away. We relaxed with some beer and pizza and picked up some info on the falls. After a few hours in town, Jay, a bottle of wine and myself headed back to the hostel. By the time we arrived back at the hostel our roommates had arrived as well, three Aussies and an Irish guy. We all bragged about our travels, then popped open our bottle of wine and went to sit by the pool. Our hostel was wonderful. It had a bar, pool, kitchen, sitting area and a friendly host, Daniel. After a few minutes our new Aussie friends joined us and we talked about what they think of the States, our new government (which is always the #1 topic) and how people from the States are loud! Yes, we are loud! The hostel also offered a BBQ with wine for only 25 pesos which is US$8!! So at about 11pm we decide to dig in! The table dinner was such a great idea!! We meet travelers from all over the world... a guy from the UK, two girls from Holland, and the two Swedes with a monkey! After a long night of drinking we went to see the monkwe at the Swedes place and then to bed. The next morning, with a small headache, I was up at 7am, super excited about going to the falls!! We packed our backpack, had a bit to eat and we where off....

We took the bus up to the fall, the park reminded us of Disneyland, just so much better!!! Everywhere you turned there was lines and people and more lines but once we got to the top and you felt the rolling water just a finger tip away it was all worth it. We where amazed! I think that we expected it to be spectacular but never as spectacular as it was. We spend the whole day there and just fell in love with the view. We even took a boat ride into the falls! The boat pulls in, you can't see a thing, it's just water pounding in your face but worth every penny. As always I went crazy with the camera and we now are the proud owners of hundreds of pictures of water falls!!! Our time at the falls was breath taking!
