Today was Per’s Birthday and we were all happy to celbrate it with him.
First stop was a short walk from the hotel to view the falls from the Brazil side. This was much more spectacular than yesterday!
We walked down the trail towards the falls and the views kept getting better.
We began to wonder if we should have been on this side of the falls all along.
Next stop was a short helicopter ride to see the falls from the air. Exciting!
Carol got a front seat view.
This was turning out to be a busy day. Next stop was to take a boat ride on the river to see the falls from down low. We had a guide for this part of the day who gave us three choices - Wet. Wet, wet. or Wet, wet, wet. Obviously we all went for the wettest and got suited up accordingly knowing that no matter what we wore, we’d get soaked. Off we went,ready for action.
Thanks whoever took this photo and shared it.
We did, in fact get exceptionally wet. As we sailed directly underneath the falls,there was no amount of hermetic sealing which prevented every layer of clothing getting completely soaked. Great fun and we kept demanding more!
Thankfully, it was warm and it didn’t take long to dry out.
That evening we celebrated Per’s Birthday in the hotel restaurant with great food and fine wine. I think he’ll remember this one for a while.
