It is extremely hard to believe that, for the briefest periods of my life, I found myself in yet another remote but tourist infested gorgeous part of the world, namely an area bordered by Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Before I had booked Cunard’s 78 night “Discover South America” cruise, I must confess to never having heard of Iguassu Falls; now it seems, like the Galapagos Islands, everybody goes there! Already I have written about the first days of what I refer to as a side trip. Ever since the First World Cruise of 1922/3, side trips or “Overland” excursions have been offered as an optional extra. I believe that in the early years of world cruising, most, if not all shore excursions were included in the fare.
This year’s voyage to South America had five off-ship options, one to Iguassu Falls with Rio and Montevideo, another to Machu Picchu as well as three to the Galapagos Islands.
Having already written each day about my experience on the Iguassu trip, below are pictures of the Falls from almost every possible angle.
This is very annoying! WordPress have redesigned their website and method of sending blogs. It’s going to take me forever to work out how to send pictures!
Apologies to all loyal readers; I should be up and running soon!
