Monday 16th May We checked out and had breakfast before getting a taxi from Argentina to Brazil! Ha! Sounds funny but it was only a 10 min drive to the boarder and it was the easiest boarder crossing we didn't even have to get out the taxi as the driver did it all through his window! We were dropped at the bus station where we booked our bus to Florianopolis for 8.30pm, left our luggage and got a bus to the Brazilian side of the falls (Igassu)  The Brazilian ...

We showered etc then got the bus ...

And realised that there was nothing to do here! We h...

Today we got a bus to Mr Hugo's to pick up bikes to cycle around the wineries! Craig and 4 Scottish lads we had met in Buenos Aires joined us on the tour.  First stop was a winery and museum where we couldn't do a tour as it was in Spanish so at 10am we sampled our first glass of wine! Next stop was a chocolate factory. We paid 15 pesos (£2.50) and saw how they make olive oil (it takes 15 kilos of olive oil to make 1 litre of olive oil!) then we got to sampl...
