Iguazu

So we took the bus 18hours north of Buenos Aires to Iguazu, where the famous Iguazu Falls are :)
The bus trip wasnt as bad as you imagine, the chairs recline and they feed you so thats all good, first hostel experience aswel, very cool and chilled, hammocks in the garden, everyone super chilled and friendly, its also where all the red indians and gaucho's (cowboys) live so they have all their little stores on the side of the road, very cool.

The falls are amazing, even the photos dont do them justice, so beautiful, also went on the boat trip where you go real close and we got soaked...well worth the 36hours round trip though...feels good to be back





This is where they get their steaks from :)




on the boat just before going under the falls..so much fun...

after the boat ride!!!

afternoon siesta at the hostel


Ok so the last two photos i took from the bus so their not very clear, these are called "villas" directly translated to villages, they are unclaimed land inbetween the rail way tracks that people have now made into south americans version of shanty towns, its where all the pick pockets leave, lots of drugs there, not very nice people, as a tourist you would try not to go anywhere near here, its right behind the bus station so as you walk to the bus station you can see it from a far so thats why you have to be careful around that area (we went there to book our tickets with the guys mum dont worry) but we had our hands on our bags all the time and would only speak spanish to each other just to try and help us out about. ive showed you the beautiful side of argentina its only fair i show you the other side
