São Paulo

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 :-)

Boating fun

We spent yesterday on a boat trip seeing all the local beaches and swimming in the sea which was actually pretty warm! It was five hours long and so relaxing. Definitely worth doing! 
There was torrential rain in the evening almost flooding the hostel,  but luckily it stopped in time for us to all cook our dinners (the kitchen was outside!) And chill out before our next bus journey which was today to Sâo Paulo. Buses are pretty cheap here, it cost us £12ish for a 6 hour bus ride. We were expecting something like a wilts and dorset treat, but it was a great coach with reclining seats and foot rests! Very fancy!

We had the best pizza for dinner and can see why são paulo is famous for it! Now for an evening of chilling out at the bar :-)
