Today we walked over the tops of the waterfalls and it was a real privilege to see the San Martin fall that was centre stage in the film The Mission. In the film, Jeremy Irons as the Jesuit priest Father Gabriel, was strapped to a crucifix and sent over the falls.
We saw many wonders today despite being in a bit of a conga line of tourists. It was a jaw dropping experience to be on top of the Devils Throat and witness that awesome power plunging into the cauldron below. On top of the falls were rainbows and the butterflies carried on regardless.
Kate gets 5 stars as she managed to get us a change of room from a 'jungle' room out the back ( read car park) to one of the best rooms in the hotel with a magnificent view across the entire falls and across the river to Brazil. Wow!
we are enjoying the Spanglish - today's classic was on the restaurant menu - 'Ask the waiter about the soup's day'- cute - especially as no one is having soup in this 40 degree heat.
Mum loved the harpist playing in the restaurant and of course 'don't cry for me Argentina' was part of his repertoire - both nights- poor fellow!
Tomorrow we have the morning to stroll back for one more waterfall and then it's back to wonderful Buenes Aires.
I haven't commented before now, but have been absolutely loving reading your very entertaining and informative posts! Thank you! Sounds like its being a fab trip and I can't wait to hear more details and to see the pics when you get back!
