End of our month in Brazil :(
Visited the Igauzu falls ( highest in South Ameica )one side in Brazil the other in Argentina. Had to blag Kev through the boarder cos he´d lost his immigration papers!
Falls were AMAZING!
next stop Urugury so Kev could get his haircut - He reckons how many people can say they´ve had a haircut in Urugury ! What a reason to go ! :)
After a shivering 17hr overnight bus journey ( i decided to wear my shorts and havanias, bus driver decided to put air con on full blast! ) we arrived in Frey Bentos to be told the boarder crossing into Urugury was closed. Contemplating our next move, kev befriends a lady in a local shop whos son happened to be a taxi driver, who happened to know some poeple at the boarder who might let us through - so leaving the safety of the sunny town square & handing over our 50 pesos ( 10 quid ) to the taxi man, we sped off towards boarder.
when Kev enquired why the boarder was closed - he said it was somthing to do with enviromental issues and only jornos and photographers were allowed to pass...
He then asked if we had a camera and said he´d say we are photographers from a newspaper this would surely get us through!! I reached into my bag to make sure my 100 quid cannons digital was ready for inspection !
Lord knows what he said to them , but after a lot of si´s and smiling we were waved through with a " have a good trip " yippeeee
Funny stuff !
so here we are in the capital Montivideo
Right, off to find a barber !!
