Cataratas Iguazu

James and I have now seen Iguazu falls from both Brazil and Argentina and we can unanimously say that the Argentinian side is phenominal!!!

Pics to follow later...

On another note, a cultural observation is that whilst Argentinian people queue, James and I must have 'gringo' written all over us as they all like to (try and) push infront of us.

Today we were waiting in line to get on the speed boat that takes you under Iguazu (amazing by the way) and a guy behind us had the look of a queue jumper in his eyes. For the purpose of this, we'll call him 'Juan'. Juan did not look relaxed at all, was shifting from foot to foot, trying to find a gap between myself and James. We're now a little less wet behind the ears so deliberately blocked his path. There were a couple of very old people in front of us and the staff were saying to us to come ahead of them. In a moment of lapsed concentration I saw Juan out of the corner of my eye taking his chance whilst I was distracted.

The next few seconds are a bit of a blur but I managed to dive infront of Juan, block his path and gave him the best angry stare of my life-yes 1-0 to the Gringos!!!
