After a few weeks in Beunas Aires it was ready for some rest and relaxation. I was convinced to take the long bus trips up to Iguazu falls in the north east of Argentina, near the Brasilian and Paraguay borders. After over 200 hours in buses I decided to splash out a bit for this trip and go 'coche-cama'. Although it's only $7 more on a $45 fare, there's a big difference in service. There is three main levels of service on the buses in Argentina. There's 'semi-cama' which is the standard partly reclining chair; 'coche-cama' which is similar to business class in a plane, and then 'total-cama' which is like a bed. It's going to be hard to go back now after having a single seat (not in pairs like on normal buses), champagne and wine, coffee, all meals, videos etc. I think I slept for 15 of the 20 hours (although I did get 4 hours sleep the night before) and got off the bus feeling fresh as a daisy. I also got to freshen up in my hostels big pool, but was sweating again as soon as I got out as the humity here is very high. Parque Nacional Iguazù is a large national park set in the tropical jungle at the top of Argentina. We spent 2 days exploring the falls and jungle and they were amazing. It's hard to decribe what it's like to stand next to a ledge with a 70 meter drop that has 1,700 cubic meters of water rushing over it every second. Not only did we stand at the top of it, we got a boat under it (not that you could see anything from the spay). We also did some walking in the jungle which was very cool. I ran into (almost literally) the brightest colored snake I've seen, and spent about an hour watching the monkeys playing in the trees. There was always something to look at in the jungle and I'm really looking forward to getting into the Bolivian jungle now. I'm now headed 20 hours east on a bus to Tucuman to catch up with some friends (only semi-cama this time). Tucuman (and Salta to the north) are renouned for the best Empanadas in Argentina. An empanada is like a small pastie (that can be deep fried or baked), only they have far more ingredients and flavour. I've been living on them since I got into Argentina (along with the steaks) and a friend here has promised to give me the cleaners recipe in his hostel to bring home. Luckily I'm nearly in Boliviar, so a decent bout of food poisoning should help me shed all these extra kilo's. I saw the first article on Australia in an international newspaper since I've left. It was on the resurected republican debate. They find it very confusing and amusing that we still embrace 'her royal irrelevancy' (although this could have something to do with the Falklands I guess). I find it hard to explain too, but I just use the word 'conservador'(conservatives) and they always seem to understand. Hope you're all well back home. I'll update again soon. Chao.
