After our mad rush to the airport we did make our flight and arrived back into Argentina a few hours later where we jumped into a taxi and unknowingly took our lives in our hands as we were driven through the streets of Buenos Aires by a wannabe Lewis Hamilton who wouldn't have known a speed limit if it had hit him in the face! We should really have been used to this but i was still gripping the seat with my eyes closed! By some stroke of pure luck we did arrive ...

Ok so from looking at the stunning waterfalls in Iguazu we hopped it back on a bus ready to head to Rio. We had to catch our bus after the Brazilian border so jumped in a taxi and had the quickest, easiest border crossing ever (no one with guns checking for drugs and no questions asked in a language we don't understand!)

From here we took our over night b...

After a very interesting bus journey which involved us all getting off the bus and onto a tiny little power boat (20 people, 3 life jackets, pitch dark, slightly terrifying!) we finally arrived in La Paz and checked into the Wild Rover Hostel, little did we know we would not see light of day for a while as we did such cultural things as eat Irish stew, drink (lots)and chat to lots of lovely Irish people! We did manage to drag ourselves away to wander round the to...
