Iguazu Falls - Argentina to Brasil

Having endured another long bus ride from Chile we decided to hit the town (ie. Salta, Argentina) and sample the local grub (euh steak and wine anyone?). Salta is a pleasant, manageable city in the heart of wine country Argentina. We fought the locals for a place on the central piazza and endulged in a meal of steak and Argentinian Malbec (quite possibly my new fav´). We were so happy to be off the bus that Chez and I consumed a bottle of wine each and I (in my drunken state) agreed to a list of "Things I should do before I am 30". If anyone reading this knows Chez (unlikely) you will know that the list is a tough one and includes random items from "drinking a gallon of milk" to "diving with sharks" (I have politely avoided the crude scottish items!).
After a short stay in Salta we took another long bus ride (yawning yet?) to Puerto de Iguazu (the other side of Paraguay and the border with Brazil). Iguazu Falls (must be) the biggest and best falls in the world (don´t listen to anyone that tells you otherwise). They are just hugely impressive. We decided to splash out and take a boat ride into the falls. We twirled and swirled up river and approached the cascading water with fear in our eyes. It was amazing!
