South American Honeymoon!

It was a struggle to tear ourselves away from Puerto Iguazu and cross the border to Foz do Iguassu (no offence to Brazil but we just loved Argentina!) but we are glad we did!

In Foz there is a 3 way border with Argentina and Paraguay so we decided to jump on a bus and pop into Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) for a bit of shopping. What a place it was, we've never seen anything like it. I'm pretty sure it was the busiest and noisiest place we've ever been to (and we've been to Bangkok!). We had a wander around the markets lining the streets but were hounded too much to enjoy it really - most of them seemed to be selling huge rugs/blankets anyway which wouldn't have been much use to us! We overpaid a man who was carrying a basket full of corn-bread on his head for a stale piece which was grim and then we got the bus back into Brazil! Not a fair test of Paraguay really but we can't visit every country unfortunately!

The Brazilian side of the falls was just as stunning - again there are walkways to follow and they give you a fantastic overview because you are further away from them. Then it leads you up to the Devil's Throat but this time you are at the bottom so it's a completely different view (you can´t see the bottom when you are on the Argentinian side because of all the mist).

The last part is a lift up to a platform so that you can see accross the falls and the view was spectacular!
