Nov. 15, Iguassu Falls, Brasil

The breakfast buffet was incredible. There was even an omlet chef, which was a welcome change from runny scrambled eggs!

Then a short bus ride to the park entrance. One of our gals opted for a helicopter ride so we waited for her before entering the park. Again no waiting in long lines and our own bus. The guide told us the walk wouldn't be as long and thankfully is was cloudy and not so hot!!! And he said we would be up close and personal or under where we were yesterday. There were tons of people everywhere and all of them in my way.

It was a downhill walk with several breathtaking stops along the way. Words cannot adequately describe nor can pix record the sound of the scenes before us.

We continued to almost the bottom of the falls and took another catwalk to overlook part of the falls. The mist was so thick--you got soaked!! It was worth the cost of the trip. Thankfully an elevator took you back up to the top where we had lunch. The 4 of us signed up for an optional trip on a jeep through part of the forest and a zodiac under the falls. So here we are in a rain forest and it has the nerve to rain---and rain hard--so we couldn't go. Darn.

So back to resort to listen to thunder whilst we napped. We are all going to a dinner show tonight that promises to be colorfully cultural.

It was a great day. Tomorrow, back to airport for Rio!!

I love being retired!! : )
