Parting is such sweet sorrow. After saying goodby to our ship friends, we were off to a new adventure. 10 persons went on a Tigre River Cruise and then lunch at a local restaurant followed by what else-more shopping.
Many of the group departed for Iguazu Falls some 830 miles north of Buenos Aires (you have to fly there). We walked into the Sheraton and were immediately struck by the Falls from every window. Upon seeing Iguazu for the first time Eleanor Roosevelt reportedly exclaimed "Poor Niagara!". While Iguazu, at 269 ft, has the longest drop of any falls in the world, it ranks second to Niagara in terms of total water flow. The Iguazu River forms the boundary between Argentina and Brazil.
We were served a very nice lunch before we hiked on the Upper Circuit. In the afternnoon we visited the magnificent Falls on the Argentine side from the catwalks and observatories; Rosetti, Dos Hermanas, and San Martin. Later a wonderful buffet serenaded by a Harpist.
