Tunuyan

We arrived in Mendoza after a 40 hour bus ride from Iguazu and unfortunately had to get another bus and a taxi to get to Tunuyan where we´ve been staying with Margot since the 18th May.

Iguazu falls were AMAZING. We spent two days there being driven by a speedboat into the waterfall and getting drenched, taking a eco boat trip where we saw aligators, catfish, toocans, kingfishers and trecking through the jungle where we came face to face with a massive tarantula! 2 days weren´t really enough to do everything we wanted.

Now we´re getting used to the freezing nights in Tunuyan, having to wear all the clothes we have to avoid getting frost bite! Margot is building a house for her and her daughter with help from volunteers and lives in a sustainable community with no running water, electricity or plumbing! We´ve been living in a cabin which is undergoing some repairs so unfortunately has a hole in the roof and gets quite draughty at night! Our jobs here include caring for the chickens and rabbits, baking, making a clay oven and a sheep pen. Its hard work and difficult to get used to pooing in a bucket but well worth it for the view of the Andes first thing in the morning! Hopefully we´ll learn a few things whilst we´re here we´ll get used to showering only once a week! Photos will follow shortly.
Miss you all

Love,
Roo and M
