Sugar Loaf Mountain
Raining again! Going up by cable car, it was dull but the views were of course great! Almost fully glass we all got views in a crowded car, taking photos, smiling at each other as we moved around to get shots from all sides! Once there, you walk around the flagged walks to the restaurant-bar, …

Curitiba Culture
The cultural centre of 'Brasil' (not a spelling mistake, but as it is done here!), the capital or Paranay, this is after all an interesting and pleasant city in S America. Exploring on the first day I found numerous small 'placas' or park areas to sit, reflect and watch the Brasilians go about their daily …
Fantastic Foz de Iguassu
Iguassu Falls (Foz de Iguazu) I had thought about the falls but not where the town around them might be or what it was called so Foz de Iguazu was small, a little boring and unkempt to some extent. However, nice friendly people, and a taste of real life again that I always want to …
