Greetings to my family, friends, and colleagues. This is my/our last night in Sao Paulo before flying to Salvador, Bahia in the morning. I am exhausted mentally and physically but so exhilirated at the same time. I love Brazil and the Brazilians as I knew that I would, despite the glaring social inequalities and wealth inequalities of its social and political systems. Despite these things, I have been in love with the idea of Brazil since I was a teenager and now I am here! Sao Paulo is very much like New York City in the U.S. except on a much vaster scale in terms of population (10 million in the city - 16 in the metro area!). Sao Paulo is bustling, with all kinds and colors of people scurrying everywhere accomplishing things. It is a ... read more

South America » Brazil » São Paulo » Ilhabela May 13th 2005

Ok so this is not going to be your typical travellers blog. On the 9th April 2005 me and Gina got married on the Ilha Bela. As a lot of our friends and family couldnt make the journey to Brazil we thought that we would add this diary so that we could tell you about the most perfect of days. Where to start , all the planning , preparing , and worrying paid off in style. The day went perfectly. We booked a small chapel on the beach (Praia Grande) on Ilha Bela which was decorated beautifully, Gina turned up (which was an absolute bonus!) and looked sensational , the weather held (and we had been promised thunderstorms) which meant the whole setting with the church, the sand and the sea looked better than we thought ... read more

South America » Brazil » São Paulo April 8th 2005

Written in March '06, this is an account of a 8000 km (5 K miles) long trip I did in April'05 through the Brazilian Midwest. It all started in Rio de Janeiro and finished, well, in Rio de Janeiro. I drove all the way from Rio, through Sao Paulo, to the Mato Grosso do Sul state, where I visited a place called Bonito; a few days later I drove north to the Mato Grosso state, where I spent some time in the northern area of Pantanal and in Chapada dos Guimaraes; I then drove East to the Goias state, where I visited Chapada dos Veadeiros and the Terra Ronca national park; finally, I drove south, crossed the Minais Gerais state, visited colonial city Ouro Preto and got back to Rio de Janeiro. I took many pictures ... read more

We´ve left Paraty and arrived at Sao Paolo en route for Foz do Iguacu on the 8:45pm bus, due to arrive there about midday Tuesday. Meanwhile we´ve had a stroll around SP - what a dynamic place. I wish we had a few days to spend here but you cant have everything. Loads of detail and photos to follow when we can find somewhere we can plug our pc in.... read more

Depois de uma viagem extremamente cansativa e estressante, aterrizei em Sampa pela primeira vez depois da minha mudança para a Ogrolandia......em férias.... muito estranho. Mas devo dizer que curti a minha cidade em um modo completamente diverso, como "guia turistico". Sempre amei São Paulo e a vida que levava ali, mas me surpreendi ao constatar o quanto. Pensei na paranoia em que vivia, o medo da "violencia"... Mas se eu nunca nem fui assaltada!!! Os problemas de segurança de São Paulo não são diferentes de Paris, Roma, Londres... bah!!!!! Não so' me senti mais segura, como so' vi sorrisos. Tive a mesma sensação de qualquer turista depois do primeiro dia no Brasil, quando passa o terrorismo psicologico que os proprios brasileiros fazem sobre o assunto: livre, leve e solta! Somos muuuuito exagerados e paranoicos com essa ... read more
