Iguazu day 1

After Spanish class today we headed off to the domestic airport in BA for our flight to Iguazu. I had the luxury of flying business class - the "silver lining" of the problem I initially had booking the flight was that when I went to rebook the next day, the price for economy had risen, but there was a promotional price for business. Rare stroke of good luck!

The domestic airport in BA is very new and quick to get through, even if you do pass by an odd "The Malvinas are Argentina - and their natural resources too" display before security. The flight was only about two hours, and we were out of the airport in Iguazu in a few minutes.

We're staying at a hostel/hotel that seemed pretty good value, a room for the two of us and there's a swimming pool here too. The one thing that hits you as soon as you arrive is the humidity. At the moment it's 94% and around 17 degrees. We went for a walk around the village this evening. It's very tourist-oriented (as you would expect) and there is certainly the impression that there is not a lot on offer for the economy here other than the tourists. Our plan is to go the the Argentinean side of the park tomorrow, taking a bus around 8 - will try to post some photos tomorrow.
