Dobly International Hotel Guarulhos

Everybody told me "why are you going to Sao Paolo, there is nothing to see" but it is wrong. Thanks to Clarissa I have had such a great time, met lovely people, ate yummy brazilian food and saw beautiful places. The city has a very european flair and its trendy.

... islands – we used the time to top up out tans and splosh about in the wonderfully clear waters. After that (and another quick dash to the shops by Alice and Fi) it was time to catch another bus, this time a 2 hour journey to Angra. It was our bumpiest ride yet, the excitement aided by the ridiculous speed at which our driver rattled along. Fortunately, the views were so spectacular that they helped to take our minds off the whiplash.
From Angra we caught a catamaran to Ilha ...

... i was told that the bus i wanted was full, so was the next one, and the one after that. I communicated by phoning Andres in the pousada; it may have been a plot to get me to pay the R$500? Anyway, the only bus available was 19.30, and i wasn´t prepared to wait 9 hours and arrive into Sao Paulo in pitch dark (journey is over 3 hours). Decided best option was to go to San Jose de Campos (?) and get to Sao Paulo / airport from there. Next bus ...

Hello everyone, I arrived yesterday night in Sao Paulo, Tiete huge bus station, it was half 10 at night after my ride from Parati, so i took a metro and a cab straight to the hostel that i found easily. This place is really good, and i recommend it to anybody who is going to Sao Paulo, the rooms are very big, all with their own bathroom, cool people and very clean, and just next to avenida paulista, one of the city´s main streets. Ok so sao paulo to be honest is not the best. I was walking ...

... as far as I was concerned, it was just a parallel world I would never step in. Neither then nor in the future. After respite in the shadows of the Trianon park, I moved on. Little by little, I passed entire Avenidu Paulista. On some other day I would have certainly spent much more time on it, but today everything was closed and so at its end I turned in the direction of Parque do Ibirapuera. I walked down the streets with such names like Rua Maria Figueiredo, Rua Teixeira da ...

... hayley has got it as well so its not just me feeling ****. Right when i first arrtived i described Sau Paulo as a '**** hole' which may have been a little harsh and so upon having a good look round the city i have decided its just a bit of a dump. There are some nice things to see but it is basically a really industrial city which doesnt cater for tourists. It probablçy doesnt help that we are staying in ...
