Punta Del Diablo, Asuncion und Iguazu (Puerto & Foz de Iguazu)

Hello, 

Sometimes live gives presents to you which you First need to open to see its beauty. 

But let’s start chronological. Our last station in Uruguay before returning to Montevideo and catching a flight was Punta Del Diablo. This is a nice little village where you can relax all day. There isn’t any sightseeing but the beach and the sunrise are stunning. 

Beach 20m away from our Hostal. Could see this from the balcony as well 

So after having some calm days some exhausting followed. When we tried to catch our flight we were informed that there is a general strike in Argentina and therefore we weren’t able to go to Puerto Iguazú for at least another day (buses weren’t going either). Instead of waiting I could convince Franziska that it would be great to use this to go to Asunción as the airline offered to change our flight to Asunción but otherwise they would not pay for any costs as this is a countrywide strike. So we got to see Asunción which is not really beautiful but at least we got to see another place (no fotos from Paraguay though). The next day we went from Asunción to Ciudad Del Este, through Brasil and finally arrived at our destination Puerto Iguazú. 

We got to see both sides of Iguazú (Argentinian and Brazilian):

Argentina (had Bad weather over here)

Garganta Del Diablo

Brasil:

I think the Argentinian side offers more diversity (spent there 5 hours) while the Brazilian side is not as much walking (1 hour) but therefore a nice overview and you get really close (which includes getting wet as well). 

Now we are waiting for our bus to Florianopolis where we will be spending Christmas.

Wishing everyone great Christmas days and enjoy the family time and especially the good food!

Buenos Aires Part 2, Colonia Del Sacramento, Montevideo and Punta Del Este

Hey everyone

Still alive and haven’t been robbed this week. 

We did go the last days in Buenos Aires to Palermo and a Tango show/dance class which has been a great evening.

The Building has been a theater before someone opened a book store inside

On Sunday we left to Uruguay and started our trip in Colonia Del Sacramento. A stunning village with an old city center and a small lighthouse. The atmosphere invites to get an ice cream or just sit down in a cafe and enjoy the view on the ocean. 

The lighthouse build inside of an old castle

Bullring which you are not allowed to enter but...

We then left to Montevideo which is basically a big city but not a must do:

After Montevideo we headed to Punta Del Este which is the most expensive and exclusive place in Uruguay but definitely not a must do. The beach is nice but there are better places which are cheaper:

La Mano

We are now in Punta Del Diablo which is fantastic but will write more next week.

Hope everyone is doing well
