061003 - Itaipu Dam, BRA

We get up more or less early as we need to check out of the hotel by 10am. Rocio tries to extend her sleeping time to the max as she finally breaks out of her doze at around 9:45am and intends to get ready in no time. But as women are (sorry, it is a fact) they just need their time in the bathroom. But it doesn't really matter. 10am or 10:30am. Who gives a damn? This is South America... Nothing is ever on time. Well, except some bus companies.
I sneak more or less unseen out of the hotel as I didn't really check-in in the first place. Rocio, as she was giving a double, invited me over last night, which was more convienent as we wanted to change to a different hostal that was just 1.5km down the highway from her hotel instead of 5 from my inital place. But as I said earlier, nobody really cared.
After we check-in at the Hostel-Inn Iguazu, a great place I had already stayed at, we lazed around for a few hours. Then we decided to go across the border to visit the Itaipu Dam, of whom they say it is "one of the 7 wonders of the modern world". And I have to admit: it is pretty big.
Took awhile to get there, though. I didn't really have a clou where it was. And so I had to keep annoying the bus driver of letting me know where to get off. By the time we got there it was already3:15pm. The last visit was due at 4pm. We watched a video beforehand. And then got on the bus. This thing was so crowded with tourists that we almost couldn't find a place to sit. No! Just kidding. In fact, in the bus , suitable for 56people, was a total amount of 4 visitors! 4!!! Well, good for us, I'd say. More space to fool around. *hehehe*
Back in Foz do Iguazu Rocio made me try some traditional Brazilian dish. Pictures say more than words. Just see for yourself what I think of the meal...
