Rhonda: Ola from Rio! Most of our day was traveling. We changed planes in São Paulo and arrived in Rio at 240pm. This place is stunning. From the airport to the beach it's jaw dropping. Beach surrounded by mountains is just heaven to me. The language is Portuguese here in Brazil. But we have yet to have trouble getting our needs met anywhere we have been. Between English, our piccito Spanish , and pointing, we manage. It's interesting to that Portuguese sounds like French to me and I hear some French words like ciao. From our hotel window:
Chris: We got up early, again, showered, dressed and went down to grab some coffee and a bite of breakfast at the Iguazu hotel before getting into a cab at seven AM and heading from Argentina to the airport in Brazil crossing the border, again. I get there is terrorism and drug smuggling and human trafficking and a lot of really bad stuff and borders need to be controlled and I'm good with it all and we love to travel and we want to be safe but, we were just there like 3 times yesterday, hey, remember us? Chris and Rhonda ? We have matching backpacks with ACR on them, remember? No ? Ok, here's our pasaportes, let's do this again, look at the pasaporte, look at us, type, look again, stamp. Done. We are off to the aeropuerto.
We got to the airport in plenty of time, the self check in kiosk didn't work but a really nice Latam Airlines employee helped us and led us to the front of the line at the ticket counter so we were able to check in, get boarding passes and check our bags with a real person.
There are two airports in Iguazú, one in Argentina and one in Brazil. We flew into the airport in Argentina and out of the one in Brazil. Both are small with few amenities. We flew from Iguazú to Sao Paulo then connected to our Rio flight.
Rhonda: São Paulo was all shops and few gates. We walked and walked and walked and didn't see any gates but boy did they funnel us through the shops. We had just enough time to get a hot dog (!) to eat on the plane. Tomorrow is a tour to see all of the important Rio things. So, we will sign off to get some sleep and we will tell you about the things tomorrow night.
Love yall.
