IGUAZU FALLS

There are only about a thousand superlatives to adequately describe how amazing(there's one!) this place is. But you better catch it when its not raining. Some people only come for the day and I felt sorry for them as they went around in their groups with plastic ponchos flapping and kids crying. It was a long weekend while I was there so the place was full of local people and tour bus groups. Friday was a few showers but Saturday was clear and warm and that was when I took my photos. I went back on the Sunday and it started to bucket down from about 11am. So the crowds thinned fast but I enjoyed seeing the Falls again, in a different mood, from yesterdays perfection. It was more sinister and the ferry was operating out to St Martin island, so I just accepted I was wet as a shag and went out for a great experience of the raw power of the various falls you can get so close to out there.
