From Salvador we went to Foz do Iguaςu. With reason, the impressive falls are one of the natural wonders of the world. Much rain and low temperatures could not spoil the enthusiasm. Bishop Lackner took delight on  making pictures, too.

On Monday, we land again at Rio de Janeiro to meet many young people from all over the world.

On Tuesday, our World Youth Meeting starts with a meeting of the Austrians at Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, a come together with bishop Franz Lackner and cardinal Christoph Schönborn. In the evening, hundreds of thousands young people from all over the world meet at the Copacabana to the opening service.

On Wednesday, bishop Lackner is catechizing the Austrians. Afterwards, we visit the "market of vocations".
