The very beige-ness of overnight bus food. Another eight hour coach ride took us back to Argentina and this time to the very popular site of Iguazu Falls, in the northeast of Argy. We were both very excited to visit. After an hour drama over a lost credit card (some lovely Argentine had handed it into the bank-we need to give some good karma back!) We spent the day wandering around the walkways, playing with the butterflies and trying to avoid the starving Coatimundis! Thanks to Kate, Jonnie and Wilf for the wonderful Wedding Gift no. 20. The falls were absolutely spectacular, we took a boat ride to get super close – and completely drenched! We spent all day there just soaking up (mind the pun) the atmosphere and views, it had rained heavily the previous day and so the falls were very full, we saw Coatimundis (a bit like big racoons), Toucans, a tortoise and parrots and butterflies galore. It was a fabulous and very special day.

The boat trip
After the boat trip, drenchedOur last ever overnight bus took us back south (26hours!!) to a wonderful Estancia thanks to the lovely in-laws, Penny and Ian and Wedding Gift no. 21. It was a part of the trip we were most looking forward to and it did not disappoint. We spent three days riding our horses, playing with the dogs and eating far too well – breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and huge dinner all with a vast amount of Malbec. It was bliss, a real chance to savour our honeymoon and enjoy the last moments of it. On our last night the owner, David, joined us for dinner and we found out our bus to BA was fully booked so ‘oh no, what a shame’, we had to stay an additional night, so we milked cows, rode horses, played with dogs and ate even more-what a pity ; )
