Marriott Sao Paulo Airport Guarulhos

... had 2 hours until we reached Sao Paulo.<br><br>When we reached Sao Paulo I turned on my phone and it found a local carrier. It worked!! wheeeeeeeee!!<br><br>I progress thru customs and made my way along the glass covered corridor. I saw my first palm tree close up and smiled. I was in frigging Brazil!! I texted Rafa and let her know I had landed and was safe.<br>

... just saw the best film of my ****ing life.<br>Seriously. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s my favourite film &#8211; in fact, it will be some time before I watch it again, if ever, because it was so powerful I was literally squirming throughout. But I think my life and my head has been enriched for watching it, and I am utterly blown away by everyone involved, many of whom I will be mentioning by name. Such was the power of this film, I was inspired to grab my ...

... to hostel where only food option was BAD Chinese takeaway. Generally, going out on streets of central SP at night is not recommended so happy to let man bring it to us.<br><br>And tomorrow we fly. Don't really think we'll bother using our spare hour to walk in SP- it just seems grim, threatening and uninspiring.<br><br>* The photos on this page do NOT show Sao Paulo. It just seems a reasonable chance to put up some more Ilha Grande shots *<br>

... were opens and we only saw hookers around. Not a single decent bar, nothing at all. Was that the brilliant night of Sao Paulo? This guy convinced us to take a taxi to a remote a place, apparently where the karnival had taken place. *******! There was nothing going on there, you could see there had been some action the ...

... time round by squashing everything down. Caught the bus to Foz at 18:00. I've never seen such a comfortable bus! Wide, cushioned seats that recline into almost beds. I certainly don't mind spending 16 hours on this! On route, we passed a favela, which are also known as shanty towns, where the poor live. No more than tiny, wooden shacks, most without windows. If you've seen the film, 'City of God' then you'll know what I mean.

... Whole families were there, couples, a huge bunch of kids and unavoidable drinks, ice-cream, pop-corn and snacks vendors. The day was still cloudy and it did not look like anything would change in that regard any time soon. But by the looks of it, very few were bothered. People came and went in droves, took a walk, played football. And some really picturesque characters also engaged in regulating the parking lot on their own initiative. Some clambered and took photos on Monumento ...

... called O Gato Qu Ri which we reckoned was the Laughing Cat. Nice meal but not at all Brazilian. Today we've been out and about seeing some sights in the city. Places like the Theatre, various squares and statues and took a trip on the tube to a big park which was very pleasant. Photo's should be attached! Cheaper dinner tonight as we stopped at a supermarket and bought stuff to cook in the hostel kitchen.
