BootEful Bonito, horrible Campo Grande, and relaxing Curitiba

After the hilarities in Campo Grande, we hot footed it to Bonito. This is an area where its illegal to fish, so all the surrounding rivers are chocker full of massive fish, which lazily swim around you when you go for a dip in the refreshing cool clear waters after too much sun. After a day of sunbathing we moved onto Campo Grande to try and change some flights. Sadly we had to wait around for a day in the horrible city, staying in a hooker hangout next to the bus terminal which was full of junkies, ladies of the night, and strangely enough a whole bus load of cowboys!?

So we jetted into Sao Paulo (our first flight in over 4 months) and realised pretty quickly that there wasn't much there for us, so made our way down to Curitiba. A touristy town that is in-between the coast and the Amazon, where everybody is surprisingly well off, with lots of beautiful promenades and buildings which are very similar to vienna. So after a lot of window shopping, and eating huge buffet meals for 1 pound fifty, we jumped onto another bus to get down to florianopolis, and spend a few days there before our first arrival turned up.


After a little push from me jude finally got into the fish filled river

It was quite an experience swimming upriver with loads of fish all around you

Me after an eat all you can buffet in the main square.
