We decided that we would try to relax and rest as much as possible….so we did! We only went way from Fortaleza one day, we went to a paradisiacal place called Canoa Quebrada. But we had to book in advance two seats in a mini bus to go to this place since it was 200km way from Fortaleza.   …

Mom and I ventured out into Sao Paulo proper.  We left Alphaville around 9:30am and rush hour was not quite over.  We are bumper to bumper, driving down the road with four lanes across.  Four lanes, translated from Portuguese to English means four separate lines painted on the road, …

Believe it or not, but flying with TAM resulted much better then our experiences with Air France or Iberia. The food was good, the stewardesses nice and pretty, the movie program was fine as well. We had no complaints at all. Well...except of one thing. This was our 3rd flight within a short t…

Despite some problems at the airport, I finally made it to South America! I spent the first few days in Brazil visiting Marcos in Sao Paulo. His family was extremely welcoming and served some delicious food. They were also all immediately shocked that I wasn't wearing a parka or something, becau…

We left Tabitinga on our boat on Saturday afternoon. Once you´ve been on one of these river boats one or two times, it kind of gets monotonous. The Amazon river is huge, really huge. When you think of the Amazon, one tends ot think of wild animals and snakes and pristine rainforest but it was not …

We arrived home in the middle of the afternoon, and I didn't even see the road on the way back until we started going downhill. Just put the earphones on and fell asleep like a baby in the passenger's seat of the car, with my brother driving and mom and grams on the back. Then I bailed dinner to s…

Manaus was our introduction to Brazil, and it was a budget-traveller's dream: huge steaming plates of food for next to nothing, bustling markets for buying fruit, vegetables, backpacks, hammocks - you name it, and even an ornate rubber-boom opera house.  It was here that we also launched our "…

Rio was our second stop in Brazil and we arrived to Rio from Sao Paulo. Before leaving Denmark I remember all the scary stories that people told us about Rio. " Watch out for pickpockets, robberies etc." First of all our Brazilian friends from Sao Paulo could also give us some pieces of g…

The best city in Brazil, to relax and spend your SUMMER!!

Today I had a nice surprise from Yolie. She didn't tell me that she would send me another card. So, it was totally a surprise. The more surprising was the card was made by herself ;-) I feel flattered that I deserve her masterpiece ;-) Thanks Yolie.... you're the best (^0^)

The decision to change what money I had and cut through Brazil to the Missiones province of Argentina proved to be a wise one as I never encountered a working ATM that functioned with my card during my few days in Brazil. I had also decided, after looking at my bank account that I didn´t have enou…
