Iguazu here we come!

Up and about early this morning and we went into the courtyard to find our individually laid table with our own breakfast selection. Pete managed to navigate the LAN check-in site (in Portuguese this time) and the receptionist printed out our boarding cards.  All packed we finished up the blog from the previous two days while we waited for Marcello (who arrived arrived early) to take us back to the airport, his luxurious car such bliss for the boneshaker roads of |Buenos Aires.  We saw a train, Ferrovia train but the camera was in the boot!  (Sorry P&M).
There was a long but fast-moving queue at checkin, but we were able to go upstairs in a short time to departures.  Alison's book in her backpack caught the security guard's eye, so needed to be examined.
There was a Hard Rock shop by gate 15, but the cafe was under construction, this was the first one Alison had seen in South America, so a  pin for her cap was duly bought.
The flight was called and once again it was a bus for the plane; for the first time we had to give in our boarding passes at the gate so needed the copies that LAN say you have to take.
The usual box of biscuits plus soft drinks on offer and the view was hazy and not photogenic, but would look impressive in the right lighting conditions.
Luggage appeared promptly and on the right belt (there was only one operating!) and Sylvano was there to meet us in a comfortable car.  As he is from Brazil, he will be our guide and driver throughout.
On leaving the airport we saw a large lizard crossed the road in front of us and we were surrounded by yellow butterflies all the way to the Lodge.
Road  signs warned of tapirs and raccoons (fodder for the Pumas),
Sylvano saw us into the Lodge and that we were checked in properly.  We will see him tomorrow for our excursion to the Argentine side of the falls. We were upgraded to a suite with two double beds, a separate lounge area, a spa bath and a hammock on the veranda.
A porter led us through the forest paths to our cabin Anahi in the Guarani.  Anahi is a Guarani name which means beautiful as the ceibo flower.  it symbolises courage and strength in the face of suffering (no doubt a reference to horse riding in Torres el Paine).

We read the Lodge information  booklet and then cooled down in the three tier pool in the evening sun.  It was still around 30 degrees.  We enjoyed a melon fruit juice served at the pool side and then back to the room for a spa bath to warm us up again!

We will be sampling what is on offer in the restaurant tonight, but unfortunately as it is low season there will be no folk music.
