Iguazu Falls

Thursday evening after a sadly gloomy day in Buenos Aires, J and I hopped on a bus to Iguazu Falls, which are on the border of Argentina and Brazil. After an 18 hour bus ride in the front row (what a great view!) we finally arrived in Iguazu. We walked to our hostel, Hostel Iguazu Falls, only to find out that since we were staying in a private room, we were staying in the home of the hostel owners kinda. It was actually nicer than our room in Buenos Aires! There are so many Israelis here that the woman running the hostel actually just said to a guy ¨Hamesh pesos por maim gadol.¨ I thought it was pretty funny.

Friday we got in kinda late so we spent the day sitting by the hostel pool. So relaxing! We all know I love those days. Then Saturday we got up early to head to the National Park. We arrived at the park, did a short hike, and then hopped onto a truck to do a jungle safari. After the safari they took us to the boats, and on the boats we actually went into the waterfalls! For sure one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. We hiked all around and saw the falls from different heights and different areas. Then we took a short tram ride to the Devils Throat. It is the massive waterfall at the end, where most of the water from the area meets. I took a tooooon of pictures and videos to show you all when I get back, but I really do not think you can capture how awesome that was on film.

We head off to Brazil in a short while. What a long bus ride I have ahead of me!
I will try to post as often as possible!

I love and miss you all,
but I sure am havin a blast!!
