I had already booked my bus from Iguazu to Buenos Aires (or just "BA" to us seasoned travellers...Okay yah). Its quite a decision as you book according to the type of seat you want, and there are three to chose from....... cama, semi cama, cama suite. The difference is how far the seat back reclines, and obviously how much you pay. Everyone I had met had told me to pay the extra and go for the cama suite as you get the full works and basically a business cl...

So eventually I made it to the bus terminal and waited for my bus to arrive for my 24 hour bus journey to Puerto Iguazu for the Iguazu falls. Well actually I had to go to Foz De Iguazu on the Brazilian side and then get across the border. Years ago I had heard about people coming over from Europe on a bus that took a day and tried to comprehende how anyone could spend so long on a bus, and yet here I was about to do the same thing.

I bummed around for a few hours as the VIP lounge was in a different terminal and had dreams of another upgrade to Business class as I went to the boarding gate.It seems my luck had run out as I boarded one of the oldest and shabbiest planes I had seen in a while.It was like from the 70's, but had never had a refit.

After the learnings from the day before I had swapped my headphones with my brother so I could make all my calls on the way back up. I stopped off at Exeter services for a coffee and plugged them in for a test run, and also plugged in the USB to charge as my phone was almost dead.....The USB would only show as a data transfer and cut out after a few seconds, and the ...

So, believe it or not the cheapest option from Manila to fly to Rio was for me to go back to London. The stopover was one evening, so I had originally planned to stay with some mates near London. Nice and easy. Nope. They had all been called last minute on conferences and needed to stay away (well that is the story they came up with anyway) Pants. I was snookered as Heathrow hotels are an arm and a leg, and to go further away would mean train or bus far...
