Today we went on a free walking tour around the city centre and saw all the important buildings like city hall, the cathedral and other landmarks. It was pretty fun, but really hot. There were loads of people selling stuff on the streets like headphones and staplers...very random! Sâo Paulo is ridiculously big. We went up a building to the 41st floor and all you could see was high rise buildings for miles and miles! Its the biggest city in the southern hemisphere and has a population of about 30 million (I think!)
The hostel we're staying in is pretty fun, although we had to move rooms as the first room we were in we shared with 4 english boys who had been there a week. When we got back this afternoon it was being fumigated because it smelt so bad. The hostel also has a little dog called Gringo, he's pretty cute!
Tomorrow we have another 6 hour bus journey to Curitiba. Luckily we've kind of sussed out the metro system and know how to get there :-)
