The end is near...

Final Destination: São Paulo. The biggest city in South America. Number 5 (some say nr. 3) on the list of biggest cities in the world. 20 million people. Wow...it is a frightening number. We have been warned by numerous people about it´s dangers. We probably won´t make a lot of photos because of that. We are only here for 2 days and we are staying with a very kind person we´ve met in Arraial d´Ajuda when he was there with his kids on holiday. I am using his computer to write this as we speak...But as we arrived, driving into the city, the skyline filled with skyscrapers, at the busterminal, we did not feel hostility, as we did not feel this at lots of places where we have been warned. Everything went smooth as can be again...Tomorrow evening we will get a tour around town. I can tell you more about the grandeur (in size) then.

Te gekke reis. Dat kan ik zeggen want ik ben in 2006 ook op veel van die plekken geweest. Ik zat dan niet op Ilha Grande maar op het ernaast gelegen, veel kleinere, Ilha Gipoia. Verder, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Rio, Brasilia, Iguacu, Parati. Ik ga zeker terug, maar dan naar het noorden.
