Well, a break from God, a change of pace, and on to travel. Whoooohooo!!
For the next four weeks my wife and I are touring around the south east of South America visiting parts of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
Journey as follows:
The leg from Rio to BA is part of an Intrepid Travel tour which is described as follows:
Venture off the tourist track on this extraordinary adventure through Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. From the buzzing hub of Rio to the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, explore the tropical beaches of southern Brazil, see the towering might of Iguazu Falls and meet the locals in Uruguay's laid-back capital Montevideo. From samba to tango and crowded steak houses, experience the exciting culture of these three fascinating countries.
Sounds OK. :-)
We've spent the past two days in Sao Paulo which has been a surprise. While it's the 3rd largest city in the world, with a reputation for danger; so far it's been easy to get around, has some great architecture, well organised traffic (if not like peak hour 24/7), an amazing underground Metro system to rival Hong Kong, and we haven't even been mugged yet.
We're staying in a great hotel while here, on the outskirts of Centro, as it's close ish to where the better half is attending a conference for 3 days.
While she's attending the conference I'm just cruising about, trying not to get mugged, and while we've already done a brief city tour, I'm joining in an organised tour tomorrow to see what I've missed. I haven't stepped in to any museums or art galleries yet, so must pencil that in for the next few days.
