Igauzu Falls! Off to RIO!

 Hey peeps! So i went to the famous Igauzu falls, UNESCO world heritage sites. I took a plan from Buenos Aires. On the Argentina side there are regular buses going there, you don't really need a tour, but it also kinda makes things a bit smoother, although on both sides, the guides really don't tell you much at all (unless you are with the Spanish speaking group). I did opt for the English speaking group as there was only 6 of us so a little more intimate.

I went with Nordic tours, they really didn't say much to prepare (bringing an umbrella if it is going to rain, as well as a Ponchu). There is a boat ride which is a MUST but you will get completely soaked and should consider wearing a bathing suit. There is a hotel IN the Brazilian side of the park and apparently they give you an early morning tour.


In terms of food, https://theargentineexperience.com/ is available in BA and Iguazu, I've heard such good things, this was amazing and a MUST do in Argentina. I'm pretty sure every meal I had elsewhere was pretty awful otherwise :O


Aqva is said to be one of the best restaurants there, I had salmon that had tons of cheese on it, some asparagus mixed in and was the greasiest fish I've had in my life! 

I really got to practice my photography skills and even had some ask if they could hire me as they saw me taking photos of group members!

On the Brazilian side, they also have a bird park, I always find this a bit sus if they are REALLY helping animals, but... it was super cool :O


Look at that smug basterd!

End of June 2023: Las Vegas and Merdia Mexico!

Image
Welcome to my blog! This is to blog my travel adventures after taking a sabbatical from work with a plan of 1 year world travel.   I started off in Las Vegas for the WSOP main event, sadly didn't go too well but it was a tough table! I was apparently playing with Joe Cada who won the event in 2009, he really should have given a heads up! I'm still working on formatting which will hopefully improve! After I went to Mexico knowing I would be coming back to Canada the end of July for a wedding. I had read/and heard some good things about Merida in Yucatan so wanted to start there for my Spanish studies. Although I enjoyed the food, cenotes, and Spanish classes, it was WAY too hot and humid. Below was my crew from class, both were teachers taking vacation to work on their Spanish! We rarely spoke English which was great! Note we are sweating everywhere. Below are two cenotes I went to, looks like another planet underwater. Below was the best dessert I had so far, passion fruit, mer

Mitad del mundo and historical center quito.

Yesterday I had another group tour organized by community hostel to go to the centre of the world. They just charged for transportation. Although the weather is always perfect temperature, the UV index is high and sun screen is very important  Below is where they thought the centre of the world was, but left it there cause its kinda cool. On the right is my new wife and daughter, They had a great free tour, talking about some of the history of this place. Quito was named after Quitu tribe, and translates to centre to the world.  They were a pre-Columbian indigenous people in Ecuador. This tribe would have this tubes around their pee pees... i'm not sure why and I guess we will NEVER KNOW. Below was my crew for the day, middle was as a local who hadn't been here. Got a got a great break down of how chocolate is processed, starting with cocoa. Ecaudor has a big history of producing it and exporting it, but they also realize the best chocolate in the world is Belgium (referring to
