Brazil side of the falls

After getting dressed this morning, we went down to our hotel's lobby for breakfast and what a spread they had!!!! There were eggs, empanadas, many different kinds of cakes, puddings and flan, cereals, breads and rolls, cheeses and cold cuts, lots of different kinds of fruit, juices, tea, coffee, and probably many more things that I just didn't see. It was an amazing spread and we enjoyed having a variety of items to choose from, which is so unlike in Argentina. In Argentina, the usual breakfast offerings are small croissants, some bread, one kind of juice and either tea or coffee.
After breakfast, we caught a city bus to the airport to check on our flight tomorrow to Curitaba. Everything is ok with that flight, and we felt better as we headed out to the Brazil side of Iguazu Falls. We had been a little worried about that flight since we haven't yet paid for it, but we are scheduled on it and so all is ok.
The Brazilian side of the falls is set up quite differently from the Argentinian side. On the Brazilian side, you HAVE to take a bus to the various stops in the park, and only one of the stops you don't have to pay for. We got off at that free stop which has a walkway which takes you to views of the falls and it was very interesting to see the falls from this side.
The weather was not as pleasant today, it was very cool and cloudy, and it started raining before we left the park. We are glad we got to see the falls from this side, but we believe that Argentina has a much better set-up in their park. At least in Argentina you can choose to walk or ride their train and access to all trails is free. Also, the trails in Argentina are for walking only. There is a charge for all the trails in Brazil, and the trails are also used by bicycles and jeeps. So, those trails can't be all that serene.
Needless to say, we were disappointed about that. We were looking forward to some more hiking and seeing more animals and birds. The weather also was not the greatest today, so we had a quick lunch there in the park and headed back to our hotel way earlier than we had planned. Right now, we are waiting for our clothes to be returned to us from the cleaners and then we are going to head out to dinner.
Our flight to Curitaba leaves at 6:00am, so we'll be getting up pretty early tomorrow!!!
