Next Stop Brazil!

Just to fill you all in on where we are now.......I am currently sat in the hostel in SAO PAULO!!!! Yep - Brazil!

After Lago Titicaca (check out my spanish!) we headed back to Cusco (think we have both fallen in love with that place!) and spent a few days relaxing and chilling out before stepping on board TAM airlines to head to Sao Paulo. Charlie had a few scary moments where she saw someone eating peanuts in the terminal but you can all breath a sigh of relief that the couple in question DIDNT get on our plane!! Phew i hear you all say!

Stepping off the plane in Sao Paulo was a bit of a culture shock as they had tarmac roads (with no pot holes!), cars that look like cars and not bumper cars and buildings which are more than 3 stories and not made of mud!!!! All very strange!

Also a little bit of a shock to be staying in a dorm with 4 others, especially after the luxury we have had over the last 3 weeks but luckily we were both so tired that we didnt notice the others come in around midnight!

Spent a day wandering Sao Paulo (which is very much like anyother city except they speak Portugues!) and are about to meet up with one of Charlies work collegues brother-in-law!! (Poor man i know - dont think he had a choice in the matter!)

Anyho - off to Curitiba (Brazil still) in a couple of days to spend some time at the seaside!

Bye for now!

  2. Since when has Curitiba been on the coast. It must be a different Curitiba to the one I visited.Glad you are having a good time. We got held up for 8days in Miami as a result of the volcano. I only returned to work on Mon of this week a week after everyone. Feeling very guilty.
    Back to the subject Curitiba.It is about 3 hrs by road to the coast however the train journey is very picturesque.We did not get the chance to do it as a result of a landslide. We had to go by coach.
