Free Falling…

G’day Folks

This time, we’re off to the north eastern most parts of Argentina. Where Argentina borders with Brazil on the Iguazu River and also a glimpse of Paraguay. The reason, to view the famed Iguazu Falls the worlds widest water falls.

We anticipated we would spend maybe 15mins watching water fall over the edge of a cliff, it ended up being a day long adventure on the Argentinian side of the falls thanks to the spectacular boardwalks that take you close to the edge and right up close to the falls.

Hutch: “Do what?”
JB: “Go to Canada!”

That’s how it started, then the idea grew:

Hutch: “Yes your probably right about the RV thing Ben does snore a lot, but still it makes sense to travel beforehand else we’re just moving house really”
2 months later…
JB: “You know what i reckon we do it!”
Hutch: “Do what?”
JB: “Travel beforehand around South America”

Let’s make this short and sweet, we’re heading too South America we’re going to need travel vaccinations. The following are the shots we decided to get before leaving and are no means a replacement for professional medical advice. This short list was composed after appointments with our GP and the vaccination clinic:

  • Yellow Fever – A must;
  • Hepatitis A & B – Shots can take months to complete a full course.
  • Typhoid – Usually combined with Hep A shot.
  • Tetanus

There are optional vaccinations like rabies that you should consider.
