Sugar LoafSugar LoafSugar Loaf

Curitiba has so little to offer, we put in a photo of Sugar Loaf. You can see the beginnings of a Monica hairstyle that came up in Ihla Grande...it´s the humidity!!!!!
So what do you do when the entire island you´re staying on has a power cut??

3 steps to island darkness:

1) Light rain

2) Torrential downpour

3) Lights out, air conditioning off and no TV!

Apparently it happens quite often, so some of the restaurants have their own generators, the rest just take the night off!

The next day, we scourd the town looking for lunch. Apparently the only food on the island that doesn´t need electricity is burgers! Fresh fruit juices and sandwiches are a no-go!

The next 20 hours were spent travelling by boat, van, bus and taxi to Curitiba. There´s not much here except a cheap internet cafe in the shopping centre, but the best thing it has to offer is the break in an otherwise 30 hour journey to Iguassu Falls. Can´t wait!!

Got to go now, looking forward to more posts! Don´t be shy now...
