Iguazu Falls Area

Saturday Jan. 11, 2014

We had an early start for our flight to the falls. We went to the Brazilian side this afternoon. Some of the group just veged out by the pool and took naps. We certainly got wet, even though we were to only get a little wet. We walked along the side where you get a panoramic view of the falls. You get a fabulous view from the Brazilian side but only 20% of the falls are actually on the Brazil side. We will experience the 80% tomorrow and we will get drenched. It is guaranteed. We take a speed boat of sorts and get dumped on by the falls that are called the 3 Musketeers.













There is a heck of lot of force rumbling down these falls. Whew!







Some of their English translation is a bit different.




We enjoyed a relaxing time chatting with folks as we had supper and drinks in the nice bar area of the hotel. We did not get back from the falls until after 6 so we needed to change into dry clothes and relax. It started out with a couple of tables pushed together and ended up with 7 or 8 tables put together and enjoyed just visiting. It was nice to have a nice unscheduled time with most of the group.

We also have a very nice view from our hotel where the river splits and you can see Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. The three countries are quite close together at least by river; by driving about an hour or so.
