Iguaza Falls, Argentina 1/20/24

 

Rodents, Crows and Falls

I spent the last few months walking 5 miles a day in order to be in good shape for this tour.  What I should have done was readjust my sleeping patterns.  We have had to be ready to roll no later that 6:30 am every day.  Today luggage had to be ready to roll by 6:30 which meant I had to roll by 6am.  My regular roll time is 8am.  But, it is all worth it.  We rolled across the Tancredo Neves Bridge over the Iguacu River and into Argentina. The falls are still beautiful but the crowds are huge here.  We had to option of taking an upper trail and lower trail.  We skipped the lower trail just because of the heat (90*) and the crowds.  Everyone was very considerate but you could hardly move.  After lunch we headed to the airport for our flight to Buenos Aires where we will be staying at the Alvear Palace Hotel. 

The hotel is another Belmond.  They are all a bit different but all elegant.  Buenos Aires has a very European feel as does the hotel.  Dinner tonight offered the best tenderloin so far.  We sat with Jeannette and Pete.  It was great food, good conversation.  Pictures at Flickr
