... complaining before purchasing himself a tub and loarding it over me as he finsihed about 20minutes later. Nevertheless, at least I can spell lording, and rhys came crawling to me later in the bus journey for biscuits. OUr final service stop was a bizarre food court situation. Yet again, we found the brazilian system of not paying for goods when purchasing them confusing, and had to transport 2 large plastic tokens to some distant cash tills before we were allowed to pay. We got food ...

... pleasant to be back in the luxury of hot water and plasma screen TVs.

Our Sunday was something of a write off both because it rained, which dampened our instincts to explore the city and because everything, including restaurants were closed. So, thinking of you, we shut ourselves away and wrote the travel blog for the previous two weeks.

The following morning we were up and at it early to go on the train ride, the only reason we came here in the ...

... tonite....I'd like to get some sleep. We'll see where I go next or if I stay here for another few days. Then I may get to go back to China (Yanzhou) this coming week.

Since Louise asked, here's a link to a pic of their Rt. 66 Burger

And here's some pics of the restaurant itself

... Oscar Neimeyer Museum which is a really interesting art museum. At night, I went to a couchsurfing meeting at a bar. To my surprise, there was a band playing country music there! I was even more surprised when half the people at the bar knew the lyrics to all the songs! Apparently a lot of people in Curitiba like country music for some reason ...

... 3 weeks, we desperately wanted to chill for a week somewhere but the weather forecast everywhere was grim! We also wanted to do the Amazon our final last dream but flights just to go 4 hours away were over 600 squid and that was with the cheap airline, but as my mum always says, you may only ever do this once so master card it was and all was booked! Not sure how we pay this card off but hey ho, worry about that one when we get back! Curitiba is renowned for being quite ...

... is 4:35 but I tell myself it is ok because everything in South America is 30minutes late. I get to the station. 4:45 pay the taxi the R$15 and the last of the dollars that the office gave to me. I cannot see a train but I run inside waving my ticket. A man says to me it left 5mins ago. I curse. I feel like crying realising that I have no money and no idea where I am. (Technically I knew exactly where I was just not in relation to anywhere I want to ...

... lakes... We rode beneath mountainous peaks that poked majestically up through the mist - breathtaking. We snaked our way right around the valleys - we could see the other side, with the bridges. We passed through canyons where the cliffs rose dramatically up on either side of us, so steep that no vegetation could grow on them. We would go right along one side, over a bridge, and then wind our way up the other side. THEN, it started to ...

... This was not the case though as he was also not in a posistion to help with the size of bill and to get my ass out of SA. he sent me an e-mail later in the day offering the advice and help I´m currently pursuing, which is. Get the hell out of Brazil to another SA country, pick up a replacement passport and then collect a ticket (paid by Paul) to fly out to the States, spend Christmas with his family then head to Canada next year on a work visa to top up the bank balance

... and are charged a set weight per kilogram. The quality of the food has varied from place to place but on the whole the food has been pretty good especially the meat. The restaurants all have grills or barbeques with big pieces of meat cooking. They obviously like their salt over here as all the meat is salted - Matt is certainly happy with that! The sausages are really good as well (even better than the UK) - they are pure meat with no ...

... von wo aus die Franzosen und ich den Bus zurueck nach Curitiba genommen haben. Wir sind dann voellig durchgefroren und durchnaesst gegen 20 Uhr angekommen. Ich wollte nur noch duschen und das Internet checken. Da das Internet bei Vanessa schon seid einigen Tagen nicht funktioniert, sitzte ich nun im Internet-Café, wonach ich die halbe Stadt abgesucht habe. Wenigsten kann ich mich jetzt als ortskundig bezeichnen. Morgen soll meine Reise weitergehen. Ich ...
