Brazil over and out

Sadly Brazil is over. After 200 hours on buses and probably double that on beaches, we are off to Colombia. Brazil has been a really good experience - we are in one piece, with all our belongings plus lots of really nice memories and some great photos. Highlights exist all over the coast - beautiful beaches, friendly people, yummy food, perfect weather for winter. Lowlights include the noise, the rubbish, the infrastructure and the very obvious divide between the haves and the have nots.

I won't pretend to have anything other than a very superficial view but I think Brazil will be one of the leading global powers in the near future. Its currency is strong, it has lots of natural resources, education is improving and primary industry is already huge. No rail network, much to everyone's disappointment :-)

The epic Sao Paulo

Hope you are all well and that we have enough wifi in Colombia to stay in contact.
