Errrr.
Where was I?
Riiiiight. Hurtling down some crazy road above La Paz, Bolivia. That was fun!
Since then I´ve left La Paz for lower ground, headed to Santa Cruz on the overnight bus, experienced the total madness of carnaval in Santa Cruz (there´s no parade, but the chuck permanent ink and paint over everything and everyone until it looks like there was one), rattled about inside a taxi on unpaved roads for 3 hours to get to beutiful Samaipata, witnessed a butterfly migration, took a tour in the jungle (and helped my tour guide hunt out interesting mushrooms for his photography collection of fungi), flown to Buenos Aires and eaten amazing steak, visited the cemetary where lies Evita, overnight bus to Puerto Iguazu and went to see the incredible waterfalls that make Niagra look weak.
That´s up to date... I would gush about how incredible the waterfalls are, but gotta go get my bag ready to head to brazil tomorrow morning to check out the Brazilian side of the falls, there named Iguassu falls.
Few words of summary then instead:
Troops of monkeys, coatis (random raccon like thingys with long noses and stripy tails, billions of butterflies, waterfalls so powerful that there´s fine mist in the air hundreds of metres from the water, seeing a toucan (a proper one, all black and white and colourful bill), rainbows all over the place, some of them nearly complete circles, getting completely drenched in a boat underneath the falls. Beautiful beautiful place that even herds of tourists wearing jungle explorer hats and sporting ´fanny packs´could not ruin even a little bit. That´s gotta be saying something?
