Friday, Regina, Mags and I decided we would go to Tigre to see the area. It is the starting point to most visits to the largest Delta in the world, the Parana delta and is where the river Plata runs through. We took an early train out and then when we arrived took a catamaran ferry around the nearest delta. Along the way there was lots of ship wrecks and lovely houses along the wetlands, and some lovely views. In the galley of the boat there was food on sale, and...

So its probably fair to say we didn't give BA the best chance in the world from day one. The crap version of Paris was a little harsh.

And so with heavy hearts we depart Puerto Iguazu on a 17 hour bus to Buenos Aires. We decided to splash out on Semi-Cama this time, ten euro more expensive than the other bus I can´t remember ever getting ever (didnt happen, I swear).

As looks would have i...

I need to write this up pretty quickly and then I will go back and write about Paraty. There is a good reason for this. I havent slept in about two days, and have just spent about 20 hours on two buses. Some time in the near future I am going to have to do that again so I need to completely forget the experience.... also since I havent slept properly in so long there is a good chance I will forget it anyway, so here it is Paraty to Iguazu via Sao Paulo.... It ...
