Day 347, 16 June 2013, Puerta Iguazu / Tres Fronteras, Argentina. We have come to the conclusion that because Argentina is seemingly poorer than it's neighbour Brazil, it can't afford as much sunshine. If any. The day dawned bleak, grey and cloudy with fog or mist in patches. Not a particularly cracking day to go and catch dancing rainbows at the Falls on the Argentine side. So we went for a walk to the other local attraction - the three borders or frontiers - a la "Tres Fronteras". This is where the borders of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil meet - right in the middle of a river. Because it's quite difficult whacking up monuments in the middle of a river, the point is marked visually by an obelisk or plinth, painted in each country's colours, on the last bit of land before the river. Pictured is the Argentinian obelisk, set in a small garden. Lovely walk - then made it back to our room for a snooze. I think we're going mildewy from the humidity - everything is wet. Clothes we've washed and hung to "dry". Clothes we're wearing. Clothes that haven't been worn... even the envelopes James uses for postcards are sticking together on the desk. Lucky it's warm I suppose! Off to the falls tomorrow - rain, hail or shine. Hopefully shine.
