Curitba to Sao Paulo - Bela Cintra Flats
At breakfast the next morning the TV news and paper was full of the drama and violence that started at the pre-carnival celebration at 9pm last night - that's right we missed it by about half an hour! The police had gone in throwing tear gas grenades into the crowd and there were pictures of them standing over people with guns drawn.
We had a very easy 6 hour bus ride to Sao Paulo. The mountain scenery was very similar to what we had seen on the train the day before, the jungle is so amazingly dense the effort that must have been required all those years ago to build the road and railways must have been incredible. Once again we were struck by the heat in Sao Paulo as we walked around town, and lack of air conditioning in our hotel didn't help!
