Foz do Iguaçu Brazil

We’ve seen the falls from the Argentine side, and from the Brazilian side at night. Before breakfast this morning, and before the crowds arrive, we walk along the path to get a good look at the falls from Brazil. The views are spectacular, and each turn of the trail reveals new cataracts not seen before.

And a Rainbow

After our walk we are ready for breakfast, and the hotel does not disappoint. Exotic fruits, fancy pastries and made to order omelets with smoked salmon and crème fraîche. Also Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas. And Energy shots.

We have our share, then walk the grounds of the hotel and climb the tower for a panoramic view.

In the Tower

In the late afternoon the sky clouds over. It begins to rain. The temperature drops from a high of 93° F to a more pleasant 88°. We watch the rain and play on our phones. I’m glad I did the moon walk last night.

Earlier in the day as we were sitting by the pool I heard a rustling in the garden near the fence. I looked to see an enormous black and white lizard hiding there. He saw me and took off. According to Google he was likely an Argentine Black and White Tegu lizard. They can grow to be 4 feet long!

We also saw a small black animal called a Prea, or Argentine Guinea Pig eating grass under the trees; He’d probably make a good meal for the Tegu.

We’re flying back to Buenos Aires tomorrow- we hope. The Argentine airline worker’s union has announced a one day strike for tomorrow, so plans may change.
