Subject: Post: Arrived to Argentina. :)We landed to Foz do Iguazu airport in Brazil and performed a slow and complicated process to cross the border to Argentina. First a city bus for a couple of kilometers, then waiting an hour for a bus to the border which was only two kilometers away and to where taxis seemed to have ridiculously high fixed price. The bus dropped us to the Brazilian side of border for border formalities, where we waited almost an hour for the next bus after completing the two-minute formalities. That bus left us at the Argentinian side of the border, and again we were ready to continue in a minute. No more waiting though, the bus generously waited for people to finish the border formalities. In total it took about three hours from the airport to the Argentinian soil.We walked to our new home, a nice big house which really feels like an upgrade compared to the last two nights in the Rio favela. There is even air conditioning in the entire house, which I have been missing while sweating through the previous nights.What to do in your first evening in Argentina? Have a steak, of course. We found our way to a local barbeque restauraunt and had some great half a kilo steaks. Actually I think my flank steak for closer to a kilo, and all of excellent meat. Just couldn't finish it all, Timo and Kim were both eating a normal Finnish restauraunt portion of my steak. Mmmh...Now back in the house, and obviously we already lost one of our house owner's dogs because someone left the gate open.. Well, hope the dog reports back in soon..By the way, about reporting in: Our last missing crew member Lukasz also arrived and met us at Rio airport today. Now we are a nice bunch of six people from four different nationalities, Finnish, Polish, Ukrainian and Norwegian. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
