... unusual thing was when stopped to get fuel we saw a large stick insect slowly walking up the handle of a broomstick! In addition whist driving along Mike had his music going and I shouted that policeman just blew his whistle at you. To which Mike replied "What?" I then pointed out the police sirens although he did see the car in the mirror. We pulled over and when the man arrived he told us that we had driven through the obligatory stop for the weighbridge. We then pointed out that ...

... byl najtanszy ale i tak dwukrotnie tanszy niz pozostale.Zjedlismy razem lunch i rozeszismy sie do swoich zajec tj. ja do zwiedzania, a oni do pracy. Wieczorem odebrali mnie z katedry dokad zdazylem dotrzec po przygodach z burza i zgubieniu sie (notabene to jedna z niewielu budowli ktora robi wrazenie) i pojechalismy na kolacje robiac mala tura po miescie. Drugiego dnia zaswiecilo slonce (doslownie i w przenosni) - zrealizowalem w calosci plan zwiedzania i ...

... let me do as I please. She's been so accommodating! Her flat is lovely and pretty central. I basically took her out for an all-you-can-eat sushi feast as a thank you for letting me stay. If I´d been traveling alone for longer I´d definitely have signed up sooner! Since I arrived, I´ve just been photographing as much Oscar Niemeyer architecture as possible. His work is just stunning. My only criticism is that the finish on half of it ...

... town north of Porto Alegre, complete with Bavarian-style buildings and restaurants, set among Alpine mountains. It was strange to hear blond, blue-eyed Germans speaking fluent Spanish. We had a wonderful lunch, lots of wondering through shops and a visit to a fantastic forest preserve with a tall observation tower overlooking the alpine slopes of green forests. Saturday, Sole kindly arranged for her hairdresser to cut my shaggy hair, while John and Walt picked up the ...

... States a few years ago. Mostly though, we loved the copabarra, who lodged on the wooden walkway outside our shacks for the first day. This rodent is the size of a small pig, loved the big water melon someone put out for him and was too indolent and lazy to move away from his own pee-puddle. Our two night stay here was enough and moving on was interesting. This is Brazil and it seems no matter how many times something is explained it has to evolve for us ...

... dans les ailes, tout, dans le nez, les pouvoirs législatifs, executifs et judiciaires. A notre arrivée, nous ne voyons... rien, car nous entrons par la queue. Nous sommes sur une gigantesque 6 voies, l'Eixo Monumental. C'est l'axe de l'avion, qui va de la tête à la queue. Nous tournons ensuite à droite, sur une gracieuse 2x2 voies déjà encombrée. Je ne vous donne pas le nom de la rue, il n'y en a pas. Ici, les adresses sont déterminées en fonction de la position ...

Our flight landed in Brasilia at 7 in the morning where we promplty caught a taxi to the bus station and barely made our 8am bus to Mineiros. The bus was really nice and comfortable but 12 hours long! Again, the landscap was beautiful and the city was very modern.

... Due Brazilian´s airports problems everybody is anxious to know if we will try long delay until departure. Darkes, Matheus and Willy went to the airplane in the right time but, when already inside the plane came the speech : Broken Board Computer. With Company´s promises that the procedure would be quick... They had the take-of only by 3 PM. Helena and I are still we waiting out time, 9:40 PM flying GOL .

... not quite as mentally healthy as whem we left. Spending almost 40 hours in the same monotonous, cramped and not to mantion bumpy atmosphere really plays some tricks on the mind. I can't really remember if or when i was awake or asleep for any period of the trip, standard timeslots, such as lunchtime, dusk and whatnot, dissolve as day and night smear into one long period of nothingness and i'm pretty sure a heard linz talking to some mysterious figure who he reffered to as "Mr Genie".

After rushing to check in a huge blanket duffel full of scientific equipment and a folbot KAYAK, the flight to Sao Paolo was late by three hours as a passenger did not turn up, and al the baggage had to be unloaded to exclude his stuff. So I arrive late at Sao Paolo Guarulhos, and after immigration/baggage claim and customs, reach the TAM counter for the connecting flight to Brasilia, to see a huuuuge line. Of course my flight had left. After a couple hours in ...
