Flying And Driving

View Out of Plane Window
We had long flight from Vancouver to Brazil via Mexico City. It took us 15hours flying but with a 3 hour stopover in Mexico. It was a long day in fact it carried over into the following day. We landed in Sao Paulo (Saint Paul) and picked up the car from the airport and headed south. We drove for 4 hours of which 1 ½ hour was taken up going around and around Sao Paulo. They have a lot of new roads and “Ken” the Tom Tom pilot didn’t have a clue where to go, we even went through the same toll booth twice in one direction and were on the other side of the road coming back. Before stopped later that day we went through at least 10 toll booths. I think we were paying for the road upgrade before completion, not after completion. To put it blunt the road was ratshit!! So we have paid for that section of the road and probably should be renamed “Nuffield Avenue”.

Some Quality Road Repair
On the second day of the drive which took us a total of 14 hours drive we made it to Passo Fundo in the southern state of Rio Grande Do Sul.
