Time for sightseeing-Saturday

Today the team had an early training session and were up, breakfasted and at the course by 7am for their last full runs session. The tension and tempo on the course has quickened and the team struggled at times to get people out of gates to have an open course for their fullies. Johann bow rode a C2 that wouldn't move out of an upstream even with some verbal encouragement. The K1M doing a practice teams race came around the bend to two kayakers having a social chat in their gate as did Tania so that blew that move. All in all some good results and confidence on the course as they head into the final nation training slots prior to racing on the 19th.This left the rest of the day for some sightseeing, resting or exploring. Team members split up to go their various ways.
Sue, Kay, Bryden ,Andrew and Ella ( Cook Islands) headed in moist conditions to the Argentinian side of the Falls. One of the natural wonders of the world. The falls are spelt Iguassu Falls(Argentina) and Iguacu Falls( Brazil). The bridge crossing the river is painted half green and gold vertical stripes (Brazil) and blue and white horizontal stripes( Argentina) as it crosses the border.

With Argentinian plates on the car we got priority refueling i.e a shorter queue at the petrol station

Mark is trying to change his flight home to have few extra days in Argentina so Tania, Alison and Mark headed to Argentina's Aerolinus offices to try their luck. Shanty in Puerto Argentina

The roads here have speed bumps to keep the speed down but in the Puerto suburbs we found a new technique -the road had an open ditch to negotiate.

Mike,Johann,James,Kidda and Aaron headed to the bird park

Everyone had an early night and have the morning for a lie in as training on Sunday is 4.30pm.
