(Part of a series of articles by Fi trawling the archives for photos taken on the tiny compact camera way back when). I was worried that I would be disappointed by Iguazu, much like worrying that Uluru was just going to be a big boring rock and in both cases I have been pleasantly surprised […]
Foz de Iguacu – a million waterfalls, rainbows and butterflies. The kind of place a child would imagine. Stunning! Then Iguazu falls on a scorching hot day, cooled down by a boat ride (waterfall dunking) and the misty spray from the Devil’s Throat. Perfick.

Our partners in crime the previous evening had been Nic (from Switzerland), Oona (from Belgium) and Michele (from […]
We awoke in our dive, cleaned up, packed up and were glad to see the back of the place. We took a taxi around to Estorial Terrazas on Avenida De Mayo. What a difference. We suddenly felt like we were in the heart of the city – and a great city at that. The hostel […]
