| A walkway on the Brazillian side |
When I said yesterday I wanted to wet your appetite, I didn't think it would be so literal. We have spent the last two days at Iguazu falls soaked to the skin! Sunday was spent at the Argentine side on three walks and a boat ride that took us right through the full spray of all the falls. We were able to get right up to the falls and we had a very exhilarating full day. Today, Monday, we visited the Brazillian side. It is meant to offer the best views of the falls but if we'd known the hassle of getting in and out of Brazil, we may have thought again. We spent around two hours getting there (a 15 km journey with two immigration controls) and three hours getting back as two Spanish speaking ladies failed to turn up for the coach. However, the views were spectacular and the walks just as wet. So all in all, we think it is a win for the Argentines.

A rather wet HJ
|
The day ended on a high point when we found Hito Tres Fronteras: the point where Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina meet across two rivers. There was a restaurant with lovely views across and so we thought we'd splash out on a good late lunch. The wine was rather expensive and so we chose what we thought was a reasonably cheap rosada: we ended up with half a bottle of sweet dessert wine!! It needed all our aqua con gas to make it like an asti spumante! However the food and views were excellent. To finally round off our day, we have just spent an hour by the pool, getting wet yet again! Must now go for showers before dinner!
