The view from our Hotel bedroom
Arrived late afternoon with a crowd from a SAGA holiday group including Judith Chalmers and husband. Thankfully not resident in our Hotel. We are right in the middle of the national park overlooking the main falls. The first couple of hours on Day 1 were spent organising the tours, although we saw about 10% in the late evening -- stunning!!

day 2 started with the whitewater boat ride through the rapids to the face of the two main falls where we were saturated by spray and the boat´s wild movements. A quick shower again in the hotel and off to explore by foot the Argentinian side with a small train ride thrown in. (no band or pisco sour! I am afraid)

Tomorrow we have booked a helicopter ride and a tour of the Brazilian side. How it can better today I do not know. This place is a WOW. This is the final blog ( although new pictures will be added later) as we are on our way back to the UK via Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo. Back to a cold UK on Monday!
