So we hung around rio for a few days before heading on to Sao Paulo . We had heard Sao Paulo was really dangerous, so we didn’t venture out much and we only stayed for one day, had a quick look around, before heading on to Foz. Adam hadn’t seen Iquacu falls yet so I went back there with him. This time we stayed at a hostel near the falls called Paudimar. It was more like a resort with basic accommodation. Luckily it had a pool as it was around 40 every day, which made it really uncomfortable to sleep. We went to the brazilian side of iguacu which was brilliant again. Adam was amazed and happy that we had actually seen something decent. Back at the hostel we met a really great guy called lochie from west walls end in Newcastle . He had been in brazil for 3 months and could speak portugeuse and he was good at capoera(brasilian martial art) as well. So we mucked around with him for a while and hung out at the bar. The next day we decided to go to the argentinian side of the falls, and I have to say that this is the best side to experience the falls as there you get right in amongst them. Theres a walkway right up to the most massive section of the falls, which is mind blowing. So we spent the day walking around and checking out the falls, we also went on a boat ride under the falls, which was one of the best experiences. The boat went right in and it was suddenly 2 feet deep with water and we were drenched…. Incredible. But adams phone got wet and its now stuffed. The next day we decided to venture over to Paraguay , its all about stamps on the passport J we made it over there and it was a total shit hole, needless to say we didn’t stay long. So we went back and vegetated at the hostel. The next day we managed to get utterly lost and spent 5 hours on 2 busses trying to get to the rhodiviera to get a ticket to Florianopolis . We went from one side of town to the other and back again. So we decided to jump a cab after that…. And we finally ended up with ticket J so we were off to Florianopolis .
