HIGH RAISED CITY

The trip is winding down

Kaieteur Falls
Kaieteur Falls today--Amazon River Basin, about 3 degrees north of equator. A LITTLE BIT sunburned despite diligent reapplications of sunscreen and wearing my now very sad straw hat. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT after we touched down on the little ...
Sao Paulo, New York of South America?
Hello, so the last three days we spend in Sao Paulo - apparently Rio is the big Brazilian city of party and Sao Paulo the city of hard work ..! Either way, it is a city where you need a locally living friend to find your way around in a pleasant way. Only ...
A brief city tour

Day 225 - Morro de Sao Paulo
Today was a lazy day even by our sloth-like standards! On my various walks to & fro the beach and the pousada (hotel) yesterday I'd somehow managed to get sunburnt in the middle of my back, so I decided to stay out of the sun today. So after ...
Morro de Sao Paulo - beaches and night life
Here we found more touristic and active spot with much more active nightlife. The tide here is very extreme, like 100-300 meters gets exposed in low and everything looks different. In low tide the beach has warm calm pools created by the exposed rocks ...
late bus
... rodoviaria (bus terminal) anyway. Whoa, culture shock. I was so used to living in third world countries, I was totally unprepared for Sao Paulo. For one, the cab was freaking expensive, U$26. For another, the city was, well, almost organized. The highway ...
Losing Sam, finding Sam, then sleeping in a favela

Morro de Sao Paulo
Each beach has its own personality. Tide is low as I explore. Huge portion of the beach is revealed. It is very rocky. Large pools of water are left behind. I join some others in wading in the largest. It is like a pond. Many tropical fish are swimming ...
