Brasilia

I miss Morro de Sao Paolo already. The beaches, the food and the people. It was a really good and relaxing time. It would have been more relaxing if I hadn't found a set of hard partying couchsurfers. I managed an hour of sleep last night before we left the island for the long and stomach churning boat ride back. Luckily I slept most of it this time.

We haven't really seen much of Brasilia and I don't think we will since we don't have much time here, but from what we have seen it is an extremely clean, well planned and spacious city. It was built in the 1950s and then later designated as the capital of Brazil. Finding our pousada was a bit of an adventure because we our taxi driver dropped us off at a nameless block of houses (sector W3 703 Bloco A), none of which advertised that they were a guest house. We wandered around for a while until an old woman beckoned towards us and led us into her house, also a Pousada. At 70 reals a night you might expect something nice, but the place is like a prison. Tiny dark corridors, no natural light in the rooms and the smallest most prison like rooms that you could imagine. Thank god we are only staying here for one night. On the upside they do have internet!

I have also uploaded some new photos.
