July something, Argentinian side of Iguazu falls and videos from the trip










After a 17 hour bus ride we arrived in the warm Argentinian jungle town of Puerto Iguazu. We stayed at the Hostel Inn, where I met a cool bunch of Argentinian chicas from Cordoba, they showed me around the town, taught me some Spanish and even invited me to drink mate with them over a game of chess.
After that Ryan and I played pool against Melbournian brothers Dion and Adrian, we were losing badly until we challenged them to a best of 13 where we finally beat them 7-6 (to be fair they won best out of 3,5,7,9 and 11)
The next day, we went to the falls early in the morning, we took a boat ride into the falls and got soaked (well i didnt get totally soaked thanks to the poncho loan from Holly, an English backpacker friend of mine who I met in NY at a Hostel in the east village, then freakishly met again halfway across the planet)
We spent the rest of the day walking around admiring the spectacular Argentinian side of the falls, but the highlight was easily the Devils Throat (Garganta del Diablo) the huge amounts of water falling into a white void was mesmerising. I´ll let the photos and videos tell the rest of the story.
