On a little train to Morretes

Today we did this train. The ride was wonderful, through lush rainforest with the rail line passing very high above it all. The only prob. was lots of drizzely rain and mist, so some of the pics are just that! Promise to put some on Thursday when we shall be in Porto Alegre for the day. We are both enjoying being on the road, with all the excitement and lost and found feelings.

Sue says: This train ride is supposed to be the most spectacular in South America. It certainly took my breath away. We've been based in Curitiba which is the most environmentally friendly city in Brazil. It's certainly very clean. We found a great bar with live music last night and they do a jolly good capoerinha, so its back there for another one or two in a minute.


Ros: also on Curitiba .... the city is full of great orange bendy buses, and little white ones. But best of all are the bus stops! Anyone interested in finding out more about this great city should look at the following - Curitiba: A Global Model for Development by Bill McKibben. Inspirational.
