Brazil 2011

March 31, on the night bus

Up and off to cross border into Brazil.  Not busy so did not take that long, which is nice.  One guy had received his visa in November last year, and had not entered the country, but after a long delay they let him in.  Good thing!  Not sure what the rules are now, whether it is 30, 60 or 90 days from date of issue!!!!

First stop was at airport to take a helicopter ride over falls, amazing!  10 minutes in air for $100 US, but well worth it!  Great views, and loud, but that was the girls screaming!

Then into a bird park, but also had caymans and boa constrictors! 

Then to visit to Brazilian side of Falls.  Brazil has only a small portion of all the falls, part of the Devil's throat, but the views are panoramic of all the falls!  Very nice.

The walks were very short but everyone seemed to be tired.

Then out for dinner to a local buffet! Brazilian realis $17.00, about $12, and all you can eat!  The amazing part is that almost no meat on the buffet.  They came around with huge skewers of meat and would slice off pieces on your plate!  Hot off the coals!  Very good.  Except they kept coming around and coming around.  Many different cuts of beef, and then the chicken and pork!

Then off to bus station for the night bus at 9.00 pm.  The last one!  (for this tour at least!)
