Bus stop in Brazil

Today we saw the falls from Brazil. We missed the bus from Argentina and the next one wasn´t for an hour so we caught a taxi instead. It´s quite a different view of the falls from the other side. You get more of a whole of the falls view (funnily enough, just like the guide book said). there´s really only one walk worth doing and that didn´t take us that long. I took quite a few more photos - I´ve taken about 1500 photos in all so far on thsi trip. It´s going to be a nightmare to try and whittle them down to the best for showing to other people.

The most exciting part of the day was the trip home. We thought that there was bus to Argentina at 1pm but we got on a bus to Foz de Iguazu (in Brazil) and the women said that we should change buses. She even told us when we should get off. So there we were, in this shoddy looking excuse for a bus stop with no idea where we were or where we were going. A bus to Paraguay went passed and then Debbie had the bright idea that we should walk up to where there were road signs. Twenty metres down the road and a bus to Argentina went by. Damn.

So we went back to the bus stop and stood there watching traffic go by for a while and finally hailed a cab. Turns out we were about 200 metres from the border and we were standing on the wrong side of the road. Oh well, we got home with very little trouble in the end and it only cost about twice as much as the bus.

Things were much more organised when we had a tour guide (thanks Shiry and Leon) but we´re quite enjoying our mistakes and having to navigate ourselves. We´re having to use our spanish quite a bit more too. And I don´t care what Debbie´s cussie Chris says, they really so say grassy-arse (Gracias).
