Welcome!

Hi to all of you! Welcome to our Blog! We are looking forward to our journey and we are also looking forward to telling you all about it :-) That's maybe because we are sadistic (yes - defenitely) but it could turn out that instead, we will show you - from time to time - how nice, cosy and warm it can be at home in comparison to freezing in a tent on a mountain or getting soaked by rain while waiting for the d... bus to pick us up in the middle of nowhere... depends on the places we will stumble into, the people we will meet and the experieces which are in wait for us.... So everybody of us can be a winner at some point in time during our journey! don't miss it when it's your turn at home :-) And ... don't you forget us ! You can be sure that we will miss you all ....

Puerto Iguazu - waterfalls


Hallo,

After having spent 2 days in Rosario - which were not so good because it was raining again all the time - we travelled north to Puerto Iguazu to take a look at the famous waterfalls. We had to make another night-ride by bus to reach puerto iguazu at the very north of argentinia right at the border to brasilia. The falls are situated exactly at the border (the river is in fact the borderline).
We were lucky and had two days without rain to visit the waterfalls! JIPIIIEH! And the falls were very impressive!! Although we got wet again, but this time by the water from the falls :-) which we welcomed because it had about 40 degrees..
We visited both the argentinian and the brasilian side and I was very impressed (Mirko has seen all of that before but liked it nonetheless)!

The next day it was raining again and a good time to leave...so we took the bus to san ignacio to posada to resistencia to roque sunaz to salta (we really had to change the bus thus often .. uff!) and it took us two days and one night in the bus to get there ...uff! uff! (and they showed "Ghost rider" as a video on the bus.. anybody who know what THAT means ? check the program of the cinema for more information ;-) )

Now we are in Salta, which we like because it has a nice athmosphere and bulidings colonial style. From here we want to explore the area around Salta with its spectacular landscapes and small, beautiful villages - so they say - by bus and by car during the next week.
We will check whether this is true... hear you again next week!

Kisses and regars, Renate & Mirko

P.S: We know you are longing for pictures, no? But technical problems prevent us from providing them for you.. at the moment ... we are working on it. Sorry for the inconveniences ;-)
