• Foz do Iguaçu Day 2

    February 2 in Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 34 °C

    Today was a chill day in Brazil. Because we rushed to get to the Falls for sunset, which was amazing, it meant our original plan to go today wasn't necessary.

    We got some admin and laundry done and for the first time in over 6 months, we binged a TV show. Throughout the day we watched the Six Nations docuseries and just took actual time to relax and not use our brains. It was so lovely. When you're traveling for this long, you don't realize how much little things like watching Netflix, can be nice.

    We popped out to the grocery store around lunchtime for a walk, and in the evening we decided to go to Marco das Três Fronteiras for sunset. We've seen the three borders from the Paraguay side, and there isn't too much to do in Foz besides the Falls, so we thought we'd go and see if the borders look different from somewhere else.

    The Brazil side is a full blown theatre production. We had to pay to enter and when we did there were fountains, fake old timey buildings, music, and a variety of different performers surrounded by a ton of tourists in lawn chairs as spectators. We bypassed all this to make our way to the edge to see the three borders, this time from Brazil. We managed to see the sunset from the other side of the river which was a nice touch because from the Paraguay side it was behind us. We also saw all the different currents of the two rivers and the friendship bridge that we walked across yesterday in our effort to get to Brazil in time for our sunset tour at the Falls.

    After our visit at Marco Das Três Fronteiras, we ubered back to the grocery store to get some dinner and things for our adventure into Argentina (again) to see the other side of Iguazu Falls.
