Amazing Iguazu Falls

18th Of March

IRELAND 6 DAYS LEFT
SWEDEN 21 DAYS LEFT

At 6.30 this morning our alarm clock went off. Not easy at all to get up today as we are a little bit hungover. Plus only 2,5 hours of sleep doesn't really make it any better! All we can do is get some breakfast into us and then leave for the Iguazu falls.

Little do we know that this will soon turn out to be one of the most amazing days of our trip.
We arrive and the sun is shining and making our heads soar. Luckily we have a 6 litre water bottle with us.

First of all we get the tickets and the explain that we have to walk trough the djungel first to get to the falls. As we walk and talk and laugh David suddenly yells "WATCH OUT" Me and Molly look down and scream, like girls do when they see a spider. But this wasn't just any spider! This was a TARATNULA!! He was just there on the path, chilling out! As creepy as they are i still stayed and took a fem photos. It was pretty amazing to see a tarantula in the wild i have to say!

The very hairy tarantula

As we get closer we can hear the falls. It's getting louder and louder every second. We are so excited and walk a little bit faster. And there they are, Iguazu falls that consits of 275 falls over 2.7 km.

We just stand there thinking "where does all the water come from?" It is just so much of it and it's so beautiful. We walk the upper and the lower trail whish means we both get to see the waterfalls from above and undernethe. From above is really nice. From undernethe we get really wet and we can see lots of little rainbows.

We also took a little boat tour around and underneath the waterfalls. They warn yo it's going to be wet, but we could never be prepared for how wet we were just going to get. But it was thrilling and fun. Clothes being wet for the next 4 hours...no problems.

Why does Molly remind me of a goat??

A goatee and she'd fit tight in there. haha

David and Molly are having a very serious conversasion about the food we just had

"My bread was a bit too crispy at the ends"

"Mine was ok, now what do you think of the AC inside?"

"Why?"

"Just because"

We had such a lovely day today. To finish the day off, we had a look at the very funny Engrish.com site and laughed a lot! There is a 23hour long bus journey to Rio De Janeiro waiting for us tomorrow so we better get some sleep. Good night
