Hi guys,

It has come to the time when it is eventually time to head home!! We fly in 7 hours time and shall be home midday sunday!

Since our last update we have quite an adventure, after Bonitio we went to Iguassu to see the world famous waterfalls. It is the widest waterfall in the world and it was spectecular to see from both Argentina and Brazil! You get very different views from either side of the waterfall as it acts as a border between Brazil and Argentina. From Brazil you face towards the waterfall and at one point you are surrounded by 260 degrees of waterfall which is amazing!! The Argentinian side you get a view from the top of the waterfalls and can see down the biggest waterfall their called the Devils Throat! We were going to fly over the waterfalls but unforuantly the weather was so bad there that it was no possible and the views would have been pretty bad!! We did get a boat ride though which took us into one of the waterfalls which was awesome although we got soaked through!!!

After the waterfalls we then headed towards the coast! It was meant to be a 23 hour bus journey...but a couple of hours into the journey our bus crashed into the side of a car! We wernt sure of the damage caused immediatly but not too long after we found out that 2 people had died in the car and 1 went to intensive car, the damage to the car was unbelieveable and the coach hardly had any damage to it! It shook everyone up but we were all okay! It meant that the trip was more like 26 hours and we were extremely tired when we got there! In paraty we spent a day on the beach before heading to Ilha Grande!

Ilha Grande is a beauiful island 2 hours south of Rio we only had 1 full day there which was a shame but we went to one of the top 5 beachs in the world there and it was amazing, we chilled out for the day and thankfully the weather was good! After here we headed to Rio where we went to the Maracana to watch flamengo play, also we went to Christ Redema, Suger loaf mountain and did a favella tour!! The views from Christ and Suger loaf were amazing and it was very interesting to see the favellas! The other couple of days we have chilled on the beach and played quite a bit of beach footie!! Unfortunatly the weather hasnt been as good as we had thought it might have been but it feels right to heading home now!!

We look forward to seeing everyone soon....

Lots of love
