So glad to arrive in the sub-tropics after another long and boring bus trip it was great to get off the bus and feel the sticky humidity of Puerto Iguazu, after the chilly tempretaures of Uruguay and Beunos Aires. The town was suprisingly dull considering there is a major tourist destination a short bus ride down the road. But we did not come to see the town.
