Buenos Aires                                              (click on the link to see photos then use your browser's 'back' button to return)

Spent our first two nights in Buenos Aires (after the third disappointing flight on Qantas) ... the first to recuperate from the flight and the second to take in a musical show at the Cafe Tortoni for a look at the REAL WAY to do the tango!

After our trip to the Iguazu falls we spent a day sightseeing and enjoyed the artistic suburb of La Boca.

The next two nights were in Iguazu city (1600KM to the north) to see the spectacular IGUAZU FALLS from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. It poured rain both days which made it a very wet, unphotographable but AWESOME display. Got our passports soaked but not our spirits!

At the Iguazu National Park we were handed a pamphlet warning us of the dangerous animals such as the puma.  For our safety there were recommendations such as "keep calm, try to appear bigger, do not get close to big cats, and always race the animal" ... an amusing but serious typographical error !!!
