061002 - Iguazu, ARG

After yet another long bus ride I arrive at around 3pm in Iguazu and check into the Hostal Iguazu Falls, located just two blocks away from the bus terminal. As Rocio, my Panamanian friend I am supposed to meet and the reason for my fast return to this city, is still on a tour to the brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls, I ring her hotel and leave a message. Time passes by. And nothing from Rocio... I stroll around town. And give it another try. It is already 5:30pm. Rocio still isn't back from the tour. I tell the recepcionist to leave her a message and have her call me back. But nothing happens. 6:30pm. 9pm. That is impossible. And I am starting to wonder what happend to her. So at about 9:30 I ring the hotel again. To my surprise the guy tells me that Rocio has left. She went to look for me at my hostel. But since there are two hostels whose names are a lot alike I try to find out to which place she went. But the guy is just a total mess-up. He cannot give me any help, whatsoever. So I go back to my place.
On the way there I hear my name being yelled out: "Thomas!" I wonder... that was a guy! How weird is that! Then again. This time, it is a female voice, though. And yes -- it is Rocio! Finally! We managed to hook up. Just about time. ;o)
We spend the evening in a very nice restaurant, enjoy a great wine and chat for a few hours before we return to our places.
