Rio in Reality

Image
Ola Pessoas Maravilhosas! Colour, excitement, danger and fabulous mayhem all spring to mind when I thought of Rio De Janeiro. Before my trip to Brazil, my expectations of this exotic city were sky high, and this may have had a part to play in my disappointing experience of Rio.   

Iguazu Falls in Pictures

 Hola Gente Maravillosa!                                          As promised, here are all my pictures from my day at Iguazu Falls! As you can see the weather improves progressively throughout the day! Not that I´m complaining about the weather while we were there, but I would have loved it if it had been sunny all day. But hey ho, what can you do? You may also notice that I dressed rather inappropriately for the weather. I´m an ever hopeful, stereotypical Brit who always wishes the sun was out. I looked like a fool for most of the morning, but was loving life when the sun came out. Always wear a dress. That's my moto.

                                                 Hola Gente Maravillosa! Rosario was never part of our original plan while in Argentina, but we'd heard good things and decided to stop here for a couple of nights. That's the beauty of backpacking though, you have the freedom to come and go as you please. Considering it was never part of our plans, I'm so glad we made the decision to stop here for a couple of nights! The city has a great vibe to it, and the weather was amazing while we were there. So if you have a bit if time to kill while in Argentina, make sure you squeeze Rosario into your itinerary, you won't be disappointed!

Hola Gente Maravillosa! Before planning my trip to South America, I had never heard of Iguazu Falls. Now I've actually visited them, I can't quite believe that I've gone 23 years without knowing of their existence. I´ve included a couple of photos in this post, but I took so many, that I´m going to dedicate a whole other post to my photographs from Iguazu. Prepare to be amazed! But for now, I´ll just have to give you a taster and cracking description of my day at the falls!
