I'm the king of the swingers...

Yesterday I went back in the National Parque at Iguazu. I took the two and a half hour Macuco Trail. This is through 'recovering' jungle but with a clearly laid out path - to be honest, you'd have to be mad to want to go off the beaten track, it is a jungle after all with huge spiders, inch-long ants, lizards, birds and monkeys.

Ah yes, monkeys. There are two species of monkeys which inhabit this particular part of the world. The first are the noisy but not often seen Black Howler Monkeys and the second are the shy but occasionally visible Capuchian Monkeys. I got to see them and take some photos (mainly sillouettes as I was shooting against the sky). The difference between a monkey and an ape - the most obvious one is that apes don't have tails (thus humans are apes). I was also blessed by a butterfly again. However, this was a butterfly that rested with it's wings wide open rather than upright, so I thought maybe it was actually a moth but this was in broad daylight and don't moths fly at night? I've checked with Yahoo answers and it seems that neither of the above criteria define a butterfly or moth. So maybe I had a moth resting on my elbow (the same one a yesterday). Now those of you who know me know that the one thing that makes me go squicky is moths (although any flying, buzzing thing at night makes me not happy) so, was it only because it was daytime or was it because I believed it to be a butterfly that allowed me to keep calm? Photos will follow soon.

I also visited the Devil's Throat which was worth it, if only for the sheer force of the water going over the edge. I didn't stay long as I was exhausted and hadn't eaten for about six hours.

Today I return to BsAs for final farewells before flying off to Australia. In case you hadn't realised I'm flying to Australia soon. Did I already tell you that?
