Well, I woke up feeling much better than I had the past two days. I guess I slept well, even after being woken up around 5:45 when the other girls came back in! =) I’m glad they had fun though. I had a good night’s sleep, so that was good enough for me.
We went to breakfast and had to check out by ten. Breakfast was cereal and toast again and it was wonderful! I had apple juice as well, which was great as always. After breakfast, Marcos took the group to a monument of…something. I didn’t go. My body was just tired and I opted to staying at the hostel and laying out by the pool, which turned out to be a great idea. I read my book, and then took a mini-nap before the deck chair got too uncomfortable. It was such a lovely day, the sun was so bright, a lot bright than I remember it ever being, but I haven’t been that close to the sun in a long time. In BA, with all the buildings, the sun doesn’t feel so bright, but here, there were no large buildings, just some trees and a lot of sun. There was a nice, cool breeze that would blow through. I would guess that it was somewhere in the 80s degree-wise. It was a lovely morning in Puerto Iguazú.
When the group finally came back (looking worn out and hot, since they had to walk there and back), we all got our stuff and grabbed taxis to take to the restaurant for lunch. We went to the same one we went to on Friday night. I had an omelet, which wasn’t the best, but not the worst either. Our poor waiter was having a difficult afternoon. As he brought me my water, he spilled someone else’s orange juice right next to me. Luckily, it wasn’t on me completely, just my arm. My purse got the worst of it, but I was able to wipe it off. Sadly, the OJ had pulp still in it, so I had to deal with that, and being sticky. Then, right after that, he sat a 7up down on the table, opened the bottle and it started spewing and spilled all over someone else’s place (which luckily didn’t have food on it). I felt bad for the guy with all the spilling he was doing. The worst thing about it was that the 7up attracted all the bees within a mile radius. So lunch was somewhat exciting what with all of us trying to not get stung by the bees!
After lunch, we went to the bus stop and got right on our bus. Then, we embarked on another 18 hour bus ride. Again, we watched movies “Meet Joe Black” and…oh, something else. I don’t remember. I tried working on reading for our Spanish class. After dinner, they played “Changeling” which is a great film. Then I went to sleep…well, tried to sleep. It took me awhile to sleep, as usual on a bus/plane/car/etc, but I am pretty sure I got more sleep on this bus ride than I did on the other one.
We arrived in
