Iguazu Falls

Just had to post some photos of the Iguazu Waterfalls that border Brazil and Argentina. We went there a few days ago and it was incredible! There are loads of waterfalls all lined up next to each other with different levels and so much spray!!
We crossed over to Brazil and so saw the falls from both angles, and got soaked two days running! But it didnt matter because it was so hot (which is quite unexpected as its winter in South America now!)



My friend Lydia has also been travelling with us the last few days (she´s just arrived in South America) and its been lots of fun having someone else travelling with us too! Here´s a pic of Sally and Lydia infront of a colossal stream of water!!



Well this is the last official blog as we fly home tomorrow!!! can´t believe its over already - although at times when you´re lying in bed feeling sick it has seemed quite long!! Had an amazing trip anyways, and travelling with Sally has been a lot of fun!
Think there will be one more entry when I get back (of the out-takes!) so please have a look in a few days for the conclusion of Amy´s travel blog! (It will be worth it I promise I have lots of good material.....)

Bolivia

Sorry I´ve been so slack about blogging recently - there´s just been so much to try and fit in! Sally and I have been to Lake Titicaca (the highest lake in the world), stayed on the Isla del Sol (Sun Island) in the middle of the lake, visited La Paz, been to the Amazon Basin, Uyuni to see the incredible salt lakes and finally Tupiza where ´Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid´ was filmed!

I wanted to put up so many pictures but I´ve already been her half an hour trying to load this one - so you´ll have to wait a week and a bit until we´re home!

Here´s a photo of me in the jungle catching my first ever fish (a piranha!!)I was proud and sad at the same time as it then bit the guy trying to free it from my hook and so he killed it and fed it as bait!! V traumatic.



Right time for one more photo - this looks like snow but don´t be fooled - its actually salt! Bolivia has 12,000km of salt lakes, where they mine for salt and build houses and a hotel out of it!! We took the opportunity to get some cool pics!
(Sally and I are the people being held in the guy´s hand!)



So only 8 days left or something like that and then we´ll be back in sunny old England! Please dont let that put you off writing comments, we like reading them! and its nice to know that someone is actually looking at this apart from my mum and auntie!! (although thanks for your lovely comments you two!!) Hasta Luego xxx

Machu Picchu!

Finally here´s a picture of Machu Picchu! Us with our all male group!! Note Sally looks like she´s about to collapse!

This is when we arrived at 8am, we had to get up at 4 so that we could get there for sunrise and before the hoardes of people arrive on the train. It was definitely worth it - really amazing view and the trek was lots of fun as well. We got woken up every morning in our tent with a hot drink - more luxurious than home!!!
