The end is nigh

We`ve now done our last proper site-seeing of the trip, a day just over the border in Brazil.

We started the day with a helicopter flight over the jungle and Iguazu falls. It was great fun, although Craig did feel a bit sick when it span around at an angle immediately after take-off! We circled around the falls several times, getting some great views of just how big and powerful they are.

Next stop was the bird park, which was huge - full of free flying aviaries. There were all sorts of parrots, macaws, spoonbills, vultures, owls, etc etc. There were also lots of Toucans, which made up for the lack of them on the Argentine side. Sharon loved it, and we spent ages making sure we got the perfect Sharon and Toucan photo!

After that, we went to the Iguazu Falls National Park on the Brazilian side, for some more treks and views. You don`t get quite as close to the main falls, but you do get much better panoramas. There is one platform which gets you close to some of the falls, so we still ended up getting wet! That was quite a relief though, as it was ridiculously hot yesterday - 47 degrees (no, we're not joking)!

All that`s left now is the long journey home. We fly to Buenos Aires tomorrow morning, then we have a day there before the long trip back to the UK. We arrive home on Tuesday, and, although we are sad that our travelling is coming to an end, we`re looking forward to catching up with everyone over the Christmas period. We`ll probably update the blog again with some more photos once we have got back home, so keep tuning in!
