Well here are a few pics of Iguazu and Bonito. Need i say more about the falls???? Anyway i´m trying to upload a video of Bonito where we snorkelled down the Rio da Prata which is a pure spring that produces crystal clear water! We went with a group of five German rockers who were failry amusing and softies at heartm we all got kitted out with wetsuits and walked throught eh jungle. Unfortunatly half way through and the heavens opened and we were in the middle of a tropical rain storm....but we were going to get wet anyway. We then found the river, as soon as you get in and put your head underwater there are loads of fish, plus its like swimming in a goldfish bowl, its sooo clear! you then simply let the current take you along the river, it got a bit hairy at times with the sharp rocks and shallow water and there was one bit where the current was really strong and you had to literally go with the flow and hope that you didnt hit any rocks!! was increadible, just like a computer game or something, you went really fast trying to keep yourself as flat as possible while the current twisted you round all the rocks then up and over into a crystal clear pool or 23 degree water!! was amazing! Anyway if the vid uploads you can see for yourself....prividing its the right video and not the one of me videoing when i didnt know how to work the camera! From there it was onto the Pantanal....i´ll haveto upload those pics later...just deciding at the moment whther to head to la paz or to sucre in bolivia...any suggestions....i think this time tomorrow i may have some signs of altitude sickness...hmmmm.....
