Pantanal Adventure Day Three . . . Today was just traumatic!!! He made us walk through a swamp barefooted, four times!! The water was so dark and murky that we couldn't see a thing, there was sinking mud, brambles, sticks, grass under my feet! He was prodding the water with a massive stick before we stepped to make sure we didn't tread on any Cayman :) great, but he didn't clean the parasites or god knows what other little animals were in there!!! I was scared...

Pantanal Adventure Day Two . . . I survived the night under the mosquito net that was kindly loaned to me by my Danish roomies :) We were up at 5am to see the sunrise, it was spectacular to look at, but we were getting tormented by Mosquitos and it was taking so long, so we escaped back in side for a break half way through!! It was funny to see though, this lodge turned into Noah's Arch, it seemed every animal from the area came for breakfast... About 8 horses,...

There was only three of us starting today, so instead of them putting on a minibus they stuck us on a 6 hour public bus! But it wasn't the worst I've been on ;) We then randomly stopped at the side of the road where there was a police station and a house and kicked off th...

Today we took ourselves to the Brazilian side of the falls. It was a nice and quick visit, not as touristy as yesterday. There's just two or three main view points to see the falls from different angles. Again, at the main one the sexy poncho came out as everyone got absolutely drenched, the spray was so intense! The view was amazing though, yesterday you were in the individual falls, today you looked across to see the vast amount of waterfalls and the postcard...

The Argentinian side of the Falls... We started the day by visiting the 3-point border landmark, it's where the river comes together and you have Argentina on one point, Brazil on the other and Paraguay on the third. They all have an upside down chip cone painted on the colours of their flag! We then went to the falls, it was so busy with bus loads of Japanese tourists, we decided to walk instead of the train :) we walked 12km in total, on the way back we misse...
