• Day 190 - Discovering Iguazú Falls

    16. November 1974 in Brasilien

    (Ursula) We only heard the distant roar of cataracts, birds chirping, and passing parrots' occasional shrieks.

    Since we ran out of bread and were low on other food, we also went shopping in Puerto Iguazú. I couldn't believe my eyes and constantly thought the price tags were wrong. Food was so much cheaper in Argentina, compared to Venezuela and Brazil, especially the meat. We paid 50 cents for four pork chops.

    Equipped with a photo and movie camera, we took off on another discovery of the Iguazú Falls. There were many secondary waterfalls beside the mighty Devils Falls. With all of this beautiful nature preserve in action, we could have walked around for days. Heinz was able to capture many beautiful scenes.

    Back at the campsite, I washed clothes, and we took showers. Heinz shampooed his hair and trimmed his beard. He looks so clean-cut. I'm ready to marry him again!

    Towards evening we made the acquaintance of a lovely backpacker couple from Australia. He is a farmer, and she is a nurse. We drank tea together and chatted into the night.
