Mercure Curitiba Batel 3 M

... there, it has been excellent. The first time I wrote about it was here. I would have taken some pictures of me eating the ginormous burger, but my hands were too covered in tasty burger juices...<br><br>And if you look closely at the pictures, this is about how much luggage I need to go to site for a week. One ...

... evening and just hung out with my friend and host Celeste, whom I know from the time she spent living in New York, and her boyfriend. On Thursday, I walked around a bit and then met David, a friend of a friend, for lunch. We ate at an all-you-can-eat vegetarian place for 8 Reais (about $4.50). After that we walked around for a bit and went to ...

... car for 207 Reais beginning on friday until tuesday. Just after the first km happend a small acident with an truck, because he crossed our line. After this we were nervous and tried to call the Primeira Viagem auf einer größeren Karte anzeigen

... we found a Walmart store, they are called "Big" here, and did lots of shopping. We were going to walk around the historic center, but as usual we could not find it and it is a very big town so we gave up and just drove out and parked at a Posto for the night.

... border, hop off the bus at the Argentine border, with rucksacks etc, for stamp out of Argentina, bus waits ... then off the bus at the Brazilian border for stamps into Brazil, bus does not wait ... catch next bus into Foz do Iguaçu, then get final bus out to the Long Distance Bus Terminal (a long way out of town). Quite a trek! We have had a night in a hotel here and are leaving tonight at around midnight for an overnight bus ...

My stay here has been interesting to say the least. On the bus on the way here from the Pantanal I spoke to a man from Belgium he said to me that in Corumba this week there is an international folk music festival. Turns out to be Festival America do Sul (South America Festival) so that is lucky gives me something to do while I book the train ticket to Santa Cruz. The festival is great all the museums have international exhibits, there is music every ...

... hotel and got another room for the 6 hours left and hopefully for a smaller price. Onto the bus station after a bit of an afternoon nap and tea. We got one of those buses where the passengers sit on the level above the bus driver. We got front seats so it felt like we were driving the bus and having the panoramic view was awesome. There were only 8 passengers and although it was 14 hours we were once again going in comfort. Nice. Next, Campo Grande, gateway to The Pantanal.

Well this is the first ever blog i´ve wrote so hope you all enjoy. Currently sat in an internet cafe waiting another 5 hours for my Bus to the border, why you ask am I making a run for the border without a passport? Well after running into some financial problems (not planning too well for my trip, laziness, bank problems, corrupt cops and my one South American friend--Charlie) i was in a situtation where I was unable to pay a rather large hostel bill. I offered my ...

... disconnected (so we thought) on the island for the next several days. One of the English guys bequeathed his Brazil Lonely Planet to me to use for my remaining three weeks, and as tempted as I am to keep it for further travels I decided it would be more fun for each user to sign and date it and pass it along, perhaps with some notes thrown in...Silly, I know, and I am not the hugest LP fan, but kinda fun too! Now time for some major R&amp;R on a true island paradise...

... world. It is really great!! Her name is Claudia and she will be our private guide during our stay in Curitiba ;) European Weather .... Huhhhh It was raining cats and dogs and it was also cold. My shoes were wet in, I would say, five minutes and I only had one pair. :( But I had luck and they were selling umbrellas on the street. I think ...
