As I mentioned earlier We weren’t scheduled to leave Iguazú until later in the afternoon. So we have plenty of time in the morning to walk the lower circuit of the Falls, return to the hotel, have a quick dip in the pool , pack up, have lunch ang get to the airport. And that’s exactly what we did!
Dean and Pat earlier flight getting ready to leave for the airport. So Tony and I, Linda and Gordy headed out to the lower circuit of the Falls at 8:30. One of the advantages of staying inside the park is that we could reach the falls earlier, prior to the many arriving day guests. This trail had a number of steps. But they were spread throughout the pathway Which made them easier to maneuver north. Which made them easier to maneuver. Just like the upper and middle circuit trails, every turn gave us another magnificent vista of the Falls.

Within 90 minutes we’re back at the hotel. Gordy & Linda return to the rooms to pack up, Tony and I switch into our swim suits and head down to the pool for a quick dip. My only regret for our stay in Iguazú is that we didn’t have more time to lounge in the beautiful pool. But we can swim anywhere. This is the only place we can enjoy the view provided by Iguazu Falls.

After our short, but refreshing dip in the pool we return to the room to shower and pack up. I had extended our check out from noon to one. So shortly before one we head down to reception to check out and for the next two hours we wait for Luis, our driver who is scheduled to arrive at 3. Back at the airport we choose to take our luggage through security hoping to eliminating the need to check it in. Once through security, we find a place to sit and wait until our flight begins to board.
The flight back and taxi ride to the hotel was uneventful. But when we return to the hotel were informed that they do not have rooms for us. There was a maintenance issue and the hotel at an entire floor of rooms were closed. So instead, they arranged for taxi over to their sister hotel, Alvear Icon where rooms were waiting for us. Winner winner chicken dinner for us. Although the Alvear Art was a beautiful hotel, and it was a bit of a hassle to taxi over to the new hotel with all of our luggage, the Alvear Icon is a beautiful and modern hotel. And we are upgraded to a very large suite with a view of the riverfront.

Once were settled in, we head up to the bar grab a quick bite to eat - one more delicious Argentinian beef burger. Shortly after, we’re back in our rooms and in bed. Tomorrow will be a hectic day as we work our way to the Royal Princess.
