Where in the world?

At last, the border between Argentia and Brazil. Apart from the usual border controls the only difference was the flags painted on the kerbstones and the lively bus driver who suddenly produced an Argentinian flag and proceeded to wave it furiously at any passing traffic!!!
Into the Argentinian side of the falls and much more natural than the touristy Brazillian side. It must be said that even though Argentina has the lion`s share of the falls and you can pretty close to them, both above and below, Brazil has the better panoramic view.
One day in the park was nowhere near enough and I could have gone back for a second visit but lost my ticket and would have had to pay full price again!! You know me, tight yourkshire bird! Spent the next couple of days in Puerto Igauazu with some girls I met in Brazil and then decided to head for Estero Del Ibera in the northeast. Know one seemed to have heard of it apart from the Argentinians! Most straining bus journey yet (although they have been pretty easy!) 9 hour bus to Corrientes then 3 hr bus to Mercedes and finally 4 hr trip on the rickety road and finally arrived in Colonia Carlos Pelligrini.
Estero Del Ibera is a wetland area in the Northeast of Argentina, apparently covering 13000 square kilometres which I thought was pretty impressive. Managed to do my usual trick of being the only guest in the hostel. I had planned on staying in Mercedes but Graziella at Delicias Del Ibera hostel said I would be better going straight there. Must admit she was great and sorted out accommodation, walks, boat trips and horse riding.
Cut to the chase, It was fantastic. Went out on a launch and saw capybaras, just like a big guinea pig and apparently the largest rodent in the world. Thought that they would run away as soon as they saw us but obviously used to humans so got some great close-ups. I was told that they eat them in Argentina but no Margaret, i didn`t!!
There are around 400 species of birds including storks and egrets, birds of prey and one that looks a little bit like a turkey. We also saw several Caimans on our trip. The horse riding was a little less exciting and managed to do 2 circuits of the town streets. Bit of a let down as thought that we would be riding near the wildlife. Another highlight was seeing some monkeys on a nature walk. My guide swore that the loud noises we were hearing were Capybaras, but they sounded pretty monkey-like to me. Eh voila, a monkey in a tree trying to protect his palm nuts from the marauding humans.
