So if we thought the Brazillian side was amazing, the Argentinian side was even better- if you can believe that. We booked a trip that involved a drive through the forest to do some wildlife spotting (we saw toucans) and learn about the plants in the forest combined with a boat trip that took us right into the falls.

We were the last of our group to board the boat and couldn't sit together. S looked very, very sad. Andrew went for a very British approach of announcing to everyone that it's our honeymoon in the hope they'd give up seats... and in a properly sitcom way everyone in the big Dutch tour party of 70-or-so-year-olds cheered, congratulated us, smiled... and didn't move. Of course. In the end A basically told a man to move (all smiley like) and we sat together. This, we argue, qualifies as a honeymoon upgrade, albeit one from disappointment to normal service.

Anyway... the boat trip was AMAZING and loads of other things at once - so noisy, so cold, so loud, so excilerating (A's turn to be unable to breathe through excitement)! If (sorry, when) you go you must do it- it goes right into the falls. The boat captain then told us to go to the front of the boat ("go go honeymoon go") for a photo. Brill. We spent the rest of the day meandering around the park looking at the awsome power of nature that are the falls. The water was a tea colour because of all the rain-washed sediment and rainbows appear everywhere in the spray. We took a little train up to the Devil's Throat (the biggest waterfall) that passes through the forest and saw groups of so many butterflies it's like you're in a snow globe. The falls are at their most wonderful at the Devil's Throat, which involves walking for about 10 mins across the river on a man-made walkway. Once you're there- wow, our photos don't do it justice.

An aside- while the power of nature is the most impressive thing here, the power of man to park a mile-long walkway in a torrential river right by the falls is also pretty neat. But not something to consider when relying on that walkway for your continued existence.

It was so impressive we went back the next day to catch the bits of the park we missed (and all the best bits again), and we saw monkeys and a creature (must look it up) that looked like a cross between a beaver and a small horse. Suggestions welcome.

Our blog wouldn't be complete without a food update. The Argentinians really know what they're doing with steak and red wine (and large portion sizes) but you should also know that we've taken a 'when in Rome' approach and have tried BBQ tripe, or cows guts as it was in the English translation on the menu, and cow's kidneys. Just to confirm, both taste terrible but we're pleased we tried them.

Staying in Timbo Posada in Puerto Iguassu (Arg). Main comment: a breakfast without ham and cheese?! What? This makes no sense. Seriously, what a relief. Cereal and medical-strenth coffee or peppermint tea. Yum. A good hostel (even if it´s not quite the luxury place the website somehow makes out). Andrew did think the host was joking when we arrived and told him it's our honeymoon and he said 'your double room isn't available, you're in a twin tonight'. He wasn't, but it was all fine.

On to Buenos Aires next.
