Iguazu Falls, Argentina

Everyone comes here not to see the sleepy, tumbleweed town but the mighty Iguazu Falls. They are indeed mighty. They are breathtaking. The Falls are a national park with many waterfalls but the crowning glory goes to the Devils Throat. You get here by walking along a broadwalk, passing cormorants, turtles, butterflies and previous walkways …

Ola Not long now. I am in my final destination - Rio. Well I am actually staying in Copacabana which is on the beach. It is beautiful. The sun is shining and the sea is refreshing. I am incredibly happy. It is going to be hard to leave this place. Though still looking forward to seeing friends and family. Missed you all a lot. Love Jackie PS Hope you like the new profile picture - me and bangers and mash on my birthday. You can take a girl out of the North but not the Nort…

Jen Hi there! Just back from Majorca and caught-up on all your blogs/photos - still looks like you're having fun! I've had chance to have a well-needed relax and feeling just about ready to get stuck into the house-move - looking like exchange of contracts in next couple of weeks. Can't wait to see you and celebrate your return with the bubbly :) xx

Aunty Pia I'm glad you're having such a good time. You'll have lots of memories to think about when you're back in cold wet England. Champagne (or some sort of bubbly) will be cracked open at Moorgate when you return. Make sure you don't miss it! xx

Lucy Hi Jackie Great blog entry. Sounds fab. Brings back all the memories for me and Jon. We did the full 60k cycle tour round Bariloche. Was beautiful. Not quite as cold as your weather now though, even though it was chilly. We spent Christmas there and I bought myself a whole box of chocolates from one of the boutique shops, and ate it for Christmas day breakfast! We also walked up the Cerro Otto and sat in the revolving restaurant. 2 little stray dogs followed us all the way up and I became quite attached to them. Then someone else gave them some food and they dumped us. I was properly offended! We too ate in el Boliche. Isn't it true that steak in Argentina just tastes so completely different to anything we know? Thinking of you and hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Love Lucy x

Jackie Dazzler Hello Guys I am doing really well. Having a wonderful time. Just in Bariloche at the moment. So beautiful. Lots of lakes surrounded by snowcapped mountains. Been on a 28 km bike ride, snow trekked with tennis rackets attached to feet (sort of) and tomorrow is the waterfall walk. Action, action, action. Then it is off to P. Madryn for whales, Buenos Airies, Iguassu and then Rio. Only 3.5 weeks left - not long. Get the champagne on ice guys. Love Jackie

Mum Dearest Jackie, Sorry to miss your call the other night. Glyn said you sounded much happier. We really enjoyed Fil's wedding but missed you of course. Vicky off tonight for airport to catch early flight to Gambia. Looking forward to seeing you soon and sharing a bottle[preferably your big one!]of champers. Must be something about us Jens, an innate love of bubbles! Love, Mum x
