On my second day in Iguazu I visited the argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls and the best was the boat trip under the falls. You got soaking wet, but on a hot day the ¨shower¨was really welcomed.
From Iguazu Falls I took another overnight bus to Floreanopolis, which is famous for the beaches, but I took a daytrip to the german town of Blumenau which is 120 km away from Floreanopolis. It is really crazy to find a german town in the middle of Brazil. After 2 nights I took the bus to Porto Allegre and continued on to go to Montevideo / Uruguay. Montevideo is a nice town, but there is nothing special. More interesting was the trip to Buenos Aires. I did that with a bus/ferry combination via Colonia del Sacramento, which is an old old town and time is standing still.

On the 11.01.2008 I arrived Buenos Aires. My first day I had to do lots of shopping. I bought a new pair of shoes, went to the hairdresser and tried to find a flight to Patagonia/El Calafate.
I decided NOT to go to Torres del Paine and or the glaciers in Patagonia, because I would have had to wait one week for the next available seat ! It is high summer season here and everybody is travelling ! For those of you, who think the south of Argentina is close to Buenos Aires, IT IS NOT ! THATS A FLIGHT OF 4 HOURS !
I got a bit scared that my flights to the Easter Islands and Papetee are also difficult to get, but luckely flights for my dates are available !
The plan for the next 2/3 weeks is to go overland to Santiago de Chile and to catch a flight to Easter Islands on 26.01.2008 and continue to Papeete/Tahiti on 30.01.2008.
Provided all going well, I will have spent three and a half months in South America ( 3 months planned). And my top destinations in South America are as follows:
Galapagos Islands
Salt Plains Bolivia
Iguazu Falls
Rio de Janeiro
