Puerto Iquazu Day 2

• Due to storms did not begin day until 1 pm
• Watched guy get tackled and beat by police in the resturant we were dining in
• Illegally entered a country

All together it was a successful day!

We woke up early to more storms. It poured all morning, therefore our day didn´t get started until 1pm. We went into Centro of Puerto Iquazu and enjoyed lunch at the tin roof barn. This is where we heard a loud noise and watched a man go to the ground. The police then continued to drag him up off the ground while beating him with a police stick and pulling him toward the street. We have no idea what his offense was. After lunch we headed to grab a taxi to take us to Foz do Iquasu, Brazil. We stopped on the Argentina side to get a exit stamp but the taxi drive blew right through the Brazil entry and said "it wasn´t necessary". He dropped us off at the falls. We walked down a path and as we went several falls came into view. It was beautiful! The farther we walked the more and more falls we saw. As we came to the end of the path we noticed a walkway that would take you right into the middle of river below some of the falls and above others. As we walked along the path we were almost surrounded on all sides by waterfalls. The water would fall and hit the rocks and then come up towards us along with all the mist. We were drenched but it was an amazing experience to be right in the middle of this natural phenomenon. After the walkway, we headed to the top of the tower where we were able to get a look at the Devil´s throat. After going in the tower we caught the last bus out of the park and headed back to the bus station in the Centro of Foz do Iquasu. Here we found out there were no more buses crossing back into Argentina tonight so we had to settle for a taxi. The taxi took us to the Brazil border ad stopped for us to get our exit stamp. This is where we ran into some problems. I handed my passport to the lady working the desk. She looked at it and then handed it to a guy behind her and it then went to another guy. He came out and asked if we were going to Argentina and I said yes. And he asked if we had stopped to get our entry stamp where we said no and explained what happened. That guy left and then a guy came out wearing a federal badge with my passport. He didn´t look to happy but explain to us from now on that we must get both entry and exit stamps and then handed back our passports and let us pass. Thank goodness! The rest of the evening was quiet. We enjoyed dinner and called it an early night.
