Hamburgo Palace Hotel Balneario Camboriu

I´m finally in a very remote place. Most of the people work with agricultural products. Here I will stay until Friday 18.12. Then I have to decide wheter I go to Iguaçu falls or I take the last rest of my vacation in Florianopolis.

I am here to colaborate with a reforestation project (www.apremavi.org), there is a big big green house and ...

I am right now in the South of Brazil, colonized mainly by europeans (Germans, italians...) I took a night bus to Floripa (12 h) and there is a good place to visit some beaches in the Santa catarina island.
After these days I will be in the NGO doing the reforestation project, for two weeks. However I have some days before fliying back to Europe. I may be visit Iguaçu falls (Depending on money, of course)

I have some pics from today! New SD card!

... in the world, and had I known that earlier I might have planned my trip around it (I missed it by only a few weeks!). On Thursday I walked around the city center for a while with my host to see some of the German architecture and then on Friday we went to a small German village around here called Pomerode to visit a famous German bakery. Tonight, I'll catch a night bus to Porto Alegre.

Segunda vez que fui pra Floripa, mas dessa deu pra conhecer bem lá... Outra cidade que vale a pena conhecer, agua transparentes, praias maravilhosas, gente bonita...
Praias que mais gosto de la: Campeche, Joaquina, Mole (só pra tomar sol pq o mar é super bravo).

... dread whatever is to come) we finally arrive at this German Brewery in Blumenau. At first I think "can't be, this is just another banheiro (bathroom) break, right" ... you know, from all the beer and ******* that was taking place on the bus. Then everyone starts going inside. Wait a minute, German brewery, sauerkraut ... can't be ... (dumbfounded - you know, like a little dog that ...

Hello from Brazil!!! We crossed the boarder yesterday after spending a few days on the Argintinian side of Iguacu Falls. We spent a whole day at the falls with the highlight being a speed boat ride under the falls. I have so many water fall pictures so be prepared... After crossing the boarder yesterday, we visited the Itaipu hydroelectric dam, the largest in the world and an ecological masterpiece (or so they want you to believe). After a quick trip ...

... people who speak some or fluent German. The reason to go to Blumenau for me was twofold. One is I heard much about it and even sa documentaries while in Germany; and second I wanted to understand why so many Germans emmigrated there. Well, I guess the latter is best undertood if you look back to the beginnings of the 20th century when Dr. Bruno ...

... When I asked her what fine she was given she explained that it was an imiediate fine (even if innocent!) and if found guilty she would have been sentenced to 2 years imprisonment! But she managed to get out of it - how? By getting the file put to the bottom of a list until after 2 years the statuate of limitations ran out! Only in America eh?!

... what my final bill will be! The staff are all very chilled out which is probably down to the herb they quite openly enjoy with most of the patrons! The best thing about the place however is the location. Situated just over a rickety brdge from the beachside. It is perfect base of operations for sunbathing, surfing and everything else we can be ***** to do. I could and most probably will spend alot of time here!

Loucura essa trip... Bate-volta totalmente desprogramado, ficamos sem ter onde dormir, e acabamos dormindo num motel cabuloso! uihaiuha mas valeu a pena, foi uma das noites mais engraçadas que ja tive, desde a viagem, até a festa! Só quem ja foi sabe como é! Vale a pena
