And then she stole my biscuit....

Buenos Aires was quite cool, we spent 3days there overall just working our way around the city. We stayed in a quiet area called San Telmo, decided to pay a little bit extra for our own room instead of dorms but still ended up with a rickety old bunkbed. There were mainly Argentinians staying there as well as a group of Mexicans, the place was nice and you got a free breakfast of coffee and pastries. We tried to find a Jesus based theme park one of the days but ended up getting a bit lost and giving up. We did visit Evita´s grave though, it was in the middle of a huge cemetry full of rich Argentinian families who built their own temples and statues and buried generations and generations of their dead in underground sections accessed by stairs. The most common snack food in Argentina are called empanandas which we have eaten alot of.... they are their version of a cornish pasty and really good! On our last day in Buenos Aires we went to the shopping street of the city called Florida, it was full of shops selling leather bags, boots and jackets as well as homemade traditional South American items. We decided to splash out on a 4pound buffet meal which included steak in the price, Drew preceeded to eat half a raw cow! That night we got a 20 hour bus up to Iguazu where the waterfalls are, they gave us a meal on the bus but after the buffet neither of us were particularly hungry so we left it for later. At one of the stops we decided to get off for a minute to stretch our legs, when we got back on the bus the fat lady sitting opposite had stolen my biscuits... what a fatty!!!
Iguazu is alot warmer and quite a sweet little town, we are staying in a backpacker hostel called Hostel Inn, and its full of other english speaking travellers. Today we visited the waterfall which was incredable, we spent the whole day in the park looking at it from all different angles, the force of the water is immense and you get soaked when you walk up to the edge. They have a little train that takes you to the different points and a boat that takes you across to an island where you can get another view. There are lots of racoon like animals called coaties walking around the park desperate for your food, they are really tame and let you stroke them. There were 150m worth of vertical steps that take you around to the different views which Drew decided to run up!?!!! Apparently it was easier that way???Tonight we are having a BBQ at the hostel, more steak for Drew...
