Last full day with Gaynor

---

Saturday 26th
Another early start, another bus ride in on the busy roads. The surfers are again out in the bay, and the waves are still breaking on the beach... Where there should be NO waves! At 630am it's already 23 degrees, so it's going to be another hot day. In the city, back on the internet trying to sort out my hotel in Sao Paulo. When Gaynor's assistant arrives about 11am I get ready to head out. Decide to walk down to the Botanic Gardens... Takes 2.5 hours before I arrive as I go via a few shops and Park Lague. Nice, peaceful gardens and only R$4 to get in. Sit and read for a while then decide I should really take a look round, before I sit and read a bit more. Not sure how long it's going to take to get back so hop on a bus to Botafogo and hop off just as it becomes unfamiliar. Get back in time for 6pm, as Gaynor's in no hurry to join the busy traffic. As it's going to be so late before we get back, go to Route 66, a Mexican restaurant Gaynor enjoys. Nice meal and a final Capirinha! Back to the house in time to crash out... Ah well, Saturday tomorrow.
