Iguassu Falls (Brazil)

Wednesday 11 May 2011
Time 0900
QF6034
Buenos Aires - Iguassu Falls
Flight time 1hr 50 minutes
No time change


Bus transfer to Iguassu Falls, then I am up up and away in the helicopter.







Only as we take off do I see there is no floor!





Proof I was there: I can produce that very shoe

This is a most thrilling walkway over tons of water thundering to the falls' edge. 

This rainbow followed me as I walked along the walkway.  Conclusion: I was the pot of gold

Bird's eye view of boats on the river

These butterflies were everywhere, and so tame.  They wanted to come home with me.

And speaking of translation:  at dinner in a Buenos Aires restaurant the menu offered tomoto soup with embezzled egg.  When we asked the waiter what was an 'embezzled egg', we were told it was a poached egg.  'Poached'.  Got it?  Stolen.  Embezzled.
