Day 4 in the Big Brutha Special Bus

¨KIT I AM LUCKY IF I EVEN HIT THE BALL LET`S NOT GET INTO THE RULES¨ Vikki Re: A table tennis match

Number of hours in the car: 1 more than we hoped
Number of ice creams: 1
Contents: Five people, 4.5 bags, one body board and one guitar

Today we are visiting the Iguaçu Falls on the Brazilian side. The day starts out raining but our tight schedule does not allow us the luxury of waiting around for good weather, we are especially looking forward to the open top bus ride!

So after the naked conga in the shower we head out to the Special Bus and down to the park. The unprepared of the group pur-chase their moomin style, very fetching rainmacks and we get the bus (thankfully closed top) up to the Falls - an awe-inspiring sight to say the least. The sun managed to show it´s face, as did Burt Raccoon and all the weird insects of Brazil. We got stuck with fast food for lunch since we were unwilling to spend $R30 on salad!

The late afternoon we spent trying to sightsee and went looking for the lake and the Dam. The Dam was shut and apparently would have cost us money had it been open?! and the road signs to the lake mysteriously disappeared somewhere on route - this is the new code for we got lost! Kit had time to p-p-p-pick up a guitar on the way back to the hostel (yay!) and we went for a dip in the pool, played some table tennis, ate more food and drank more Caipirinhas.
