I’m at the tail end of a tour that has something like 16 flights in it, and I must admit that I’m getting a little tired of airports and the queuing and the waiting.

So imagine my delight when I lifted my eyes from my eBook to see a couple sharing mate exactly as Victoria described.

She had a thermos with hot water, and she poured a little into the mate container and had 2 swallows until the water was gone. She then poured a little hot water into the mate, and handed it to her husband, who absentmindedly drank while he was concentrating on his phone.

They went back and forth like that. It was nice to see it in person.

I wandered around the hotel grounds after we arrived. There were a few greenhouses and some tracks throughout the gardens.

I don’t know how this bird sees properly.

This place has a butterfly house!

When we found that the rooms weren’t going to be ready for a couple of hours, Sally, Steven, Terry and I decided to walk into town to grab some lunch.

The only directions we were given was from the tour guide… “ Turn left and keep on going for 20 minutes.”

It was longer than that. We organised a taxi for the ride home.

Look! Horses!

Now that I’m such a dab hand at riding, maybe I should have gone over and offered to help?

After lunch, I decided to have a nap, because last night was a very late night, what with uploading all those videos.

Argentina is playing tonight in the World Cup. We’re hoping they win, otherwise the whole town might be shut down in gloom and doom. Tomorrow is when we see the Argentinian side of the falls. 😃
