Renaissance Sao Paulo

... 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>

... and I&#8217;d be amazed if Downey and Wright don&#8217;t get the nod too. The Soloist is, as I said at the beginning, a powerful film. Not everyone will love it. Some, I imagine, will downright loathe it. But I defy anyone to watch this film and not feel a totally visceral reaction to it. The soundtrack alone, which is ruled like Ayers himself by the classical composers, demands it. And the performances of the lead actors involved guarantees it.<br>Okay, I&#8217 ...

... 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>

... hours in bed and will not be checking out early or even on time for that matter. I have drugs but no water and so have to swallow them dry - thankfully be 2pm they´ve started to kick in and I can manage to get myself to the airport for my flight to Sao Paolo - a long day ahead. 1 hour flight to Lima, 7 hour stopover and a midnight 5 hour flight to Sao Paolo, Brazil.<br><br>Thankfully Lima has one of those travel lounges for executives. They cost next to nothing ...

... wollte und nun doch ueber 2 Wochen mit uns durch die Landen zog. Im Vorfeld hatte Basti uns schon ein bischen gewarnt, dass Sao Paulo eine tolle Stadt zum leben ist, aber fuer Touristen nicht so viel zu zeigen hat. So haben wir die Altstadt innerhalb von 1,5h gemuetlich durchwandert und eigentlich doch nicht viel gesehen. Wir schauen uns noch den groessten Park der ...

... 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 ...

... plan for the day was to drive around the city, check out their new place which was being built and again enjoy some hearty Brazilian meals. Accordingly, we met at the hotel lobby at 12 and drove around the city. All my comparisons of SP with amchi-Mumbai were rendered useless when we actually got a glimpse of the city in the morning. SP is actually quite a nice city with lots of trees and greenery around to actually attract comparisons with KL or ...

... numerous roads which I have only navigated by taxi drivers, who drive as recklessly as the Portugese.Needless to say they have thousands of bus routes. A bus ticket is R$2 (0.80e), minimum pay is R$500(200.00e) a month. On the bus,a quarter way inside there is a turnstile, where you pay a conductor the fare or swipe your smartcard to go through the turnstile to sit down and or exit the bus. They also have a good metro system its frequent,clean and eight cars ...
