Our trip to Belo Horizonte started with an eight hour night bus. Getting the ticket was somewhat of a hassle having to go to three different ticket stations before we finally got to the right place. Whilst in the queue though we met some really nice Canadian / Portuguese fellas who were also over for the World Cup. They were also on their way to Belo Horizonte for the England game. I would have got my photo with them to tick off Portugal for my World Cup Fan Chal...

Here is a look at my time in Sao Paulo in Brazil. Day 1 - We arrived around 6.30am in Sao Paulo. The bus from Rio had only taken around six hours. Not use to our normal 14 hour night bus sleep we were both pretty tired. So we wanted to get to our accommodation as fast as possible. We had used a website called AirBnB to sort out a place to stay in Sao Paulo. For those of you unfamiliar with AirBnB it is a website where people can put up rooms for sale for people ...

The 13 hour night bus flew by and we arrived in Rio shortly after 9am. We jumped in a cab and made our way to our hostel.

One through the gate though it was clear it was a hostel. The guy on a reception we nicknamed Captain Disney. He spent the morning rehearsi...

So we made it to Curitiba at around 10pm. We hoped in a taxi and headed to the hostel where we were greeted by a pleasant reception by the name of Alfredo, or maybe I'm confusing this with the pasta dish, or maybe he was named after the pasta dish. Anyway he was a nice guy and had good banter and spoke at length about robo-cop which impressed Earl. He reminded me of Fernando who did our walking tour in Buenos Aries. We got aquatinted with the hostel and then deci...

We left our hostel an hour before our bus was due to leave, we thought this would be adequate time for the 115 minute walk to the supermarket, stock up on supplies at the supermarket, check in and get ur bus tickets and change our Uruguayan Pesos for Brazilian Real. The Uruguayan check-in was typically efficient, but this time super slow. Meaning it was a race against time for us to finish what we needed to do. A mad dash and a sprint finish got us on t the night...
