Have spent the past two days at the Iguassu falls and massive is an understatement. Years ago, on seeing the falls Eleanor Roosevelt said 'Poor Niagara'. Niagara is nothing in comparison Monday was spent on the Brazilian side, not bad, a great overview of the area and a trip to a bird park with loads of parakeets and strange South American birds, some of them as big as ostriches. Today, Tuesday was a hop into Argentina to visit their side of the falls. Unbelievable. The wildlife was again spectacular, loads of butterflies, birds, the odd cayman and tortoise but it was the close up encounter with several of the 275 waterfalls in Iguassu that just made you appreciate the size and power or mother nature. A boat trip into the falls got everyone soaked and then a torrential downpour and a walk to within meters of another waterfall made the afternoon cool, enjoyable and really pleasant (compared to 38 degrees earlier in the day).

Your Mum would'nt get in the boat for a start,anything under 30,000 tons and not 5 star is a row boat and would sink. Wild life is not quiet like the Moss Rd yet but we've big spiders here to, butterflys in the garden,couple of barn owls and the odd fox all we need is some heat to match you'se.
So you both had a good day up the falls then. Bit different to Northern Irelands up the falls.
It looks awesome. Jude have you done any knitting yet?
