After our executive class seats on a 10 hour bus journey from BA we finally arrived at Santiago Del Estero! Danny was the best host! Giving up his bed for the night and showing us two lost causes around this beautiful small city. It was a great place to stop off at as he was the only non Argentinian and it really was a true representation of what I imagined South America to be. The people were so friendly and so curious to find out about you and know where you are from and what you are doing! We went to the cultural centre and the cathedral then siesta started. Yes siesta in this city was around 4-5 hours long! So of course we did the one thing we are very good at and that was to find a bar, drink their beer (which comes in litre size bottles) and play cards... all afternoon!!! Danny took us to his school where he works and we met the whole English Department. What was meant to be a quick hello turned into a 2 hour conversation and history lesson on Argentina!! :) By this point it was 11pm and obviously time for dinner!! We went to the nicest steak house and had a mixed grill but I have never seen such a variety of meats... I dread to think.
After our lovely stop over with Danny we headed straight to Iguazu falls! .... 20 Hours on the bus!!! And not in the executive class this time!! :(
Arriving the next day at Iguazu we dropped our stuff off and headed straight to the National Park and my gosh was it AMAZING. The views are incredible and I couldn´t believe how vast the falls were. Jess and I couldn´t help ourselves but to book ourselves on one of the boat trips that took you right to the fall. We only found out when actually on the boat do they take you INTO the falls and get you so soaked!!! But what an adrenaline rush!! Getting back to the hostel we decided that after 30 hours of travelling on buses in 3 days we definitely needed a break! So booked ourselves another night and chilled out for the rest of our stay!!
Now we are about to endure a 24 hour bus journey to Rio!!! I am sure it will be worth it!!! EXCITED!
