Melia Confort Guarulhos

... and I have to say it was very nice indeed. It had a very modern city feel to it, and was clean, and most importantly, safe. The hotel we stayed in above was only 65 quid on expedia, which was very reasonable as it was a very good 3 star hotel.
Went to the ´MASP´- basically the art museum of Sao Paulo. Now, this really isn´t my bag at all, I have never been to an art gallery in my life, I wo~´t rant on about ...

... suffers from a lot of pollution, is quite run down, but is the typical spot people use as a base to see the rainforest.

Daniel, the guy who met us at the airport, insisted we had a look at the Manaus opera house at least, so thats what we did in the morning before our flight. Its quite nice, but doesn't really redeem Manaus as a worthwhile place to visit apart from as a good base for jungle trekking! We then set off with our bags, in the stifling mid day heat upwards of 35 ...

-Don’t worry, it will be explained, so don’t rush to click out so fast.

Who is to say what success is of importance and is not? Is someone really better than another, given any variables, if weighed out on a scale, before the most objective of all men? Why doesn’t the garbage man belong on the cover of US news, while the stock broker piles the same magazine in some bathroom cabinet? Anthony and I discussed personal purpose and reach ...

So finally, around 8 am or so, after battling with Sao Paolo's crazy rush hour traffic (which we would have avoided if it weren't for the lady at the Brasilian border check), I arrived to the bus station. After checking some departure times and prices for Rio (I'm taking the midnight bus for about 60 Reais (30 USD ...

... soccer/basketball area (a whole court! so cool) and a really cool area for doing barbecues, which I will explain later. That day I pretty much dumped my stuff on hte floor of Joanas room and went to sleep on the bed that pulls out from under hers. It was like 7:30 when she woke me up, she had come home at about 4 but let me sleep. I was zonked. Anyway I woke up and went to have dinner, which was delicious, plus they drink fresh juice all the time. I love this place. I pulled ...

... heat and could not find it. As we couldn't find a tourist information, we had to make do with the guide book map, which was not very extensive to say the least. We got lost many times. We finally found it - tired, sweaty and thirsty, we stopped at the first cafe we found and had a much needed ice cold beer. Disappointed that after spending all afternoon walking, only to discover there was nothing to see, defeated we headed back to our hotel. After a quick freshen up ...

... But I was the only one who did not speak Portuguese. So when after a while nothing in particular happened, I moved on and emerged on Avenida Pedro Álvares Cabral which is in effect the northern boundary to Parque do Ibirapuera. Now, this place was crowded. The park is said to be a leisure paradise for the people of São Paulo, with a lake, fountains, children's playgrounds, keep-fit trails, a roller-skating rink and an open-air theatre for concerts and other musical events. But ...

... with people of all different nationalities. I think Connie had a great time. The weather here is beautiful today and I am just kind of hanging out with Connie and we are going to do some stuff outside. The plan is to head out tomorrow for further up the coast. I will forgo Rio for now and do it on the way back down. I would like to hit it up on a weekend instead of the week. So I am headed to some beach towns to the north-east of Rio.
