Sao Paulo 3 March - 5 March

So we land safe and sound in the BIGGEST city we have ever seen - seriously Sao Paulo is massive! After a bit of immigration fun we go looking for a taxi and run into some S.African tannies - the 3 of them are on a trip round argentina and havent booked a damn thing, problem is that they look like 3 koek sisters with giant targets/signs on their heads saying ROB ME PLEASE! So we split a taxi with them to the Hostel - Praca da Arvore and try to avoid them for the rest of our stay, we even pulled a sneaky and asked to be in seperate parts of the hostel.

The hot and heavy Brazillian sun greated us the next morning and got Vix out of bed way before we thought possible. Tuesday inovolved learning the Sao Paulo Metro system (really good!), going to a brilliant art exhibition (Van Gogh, Picasso, Manet, Matisse, Degar and some wierd Japanese bread guy and his elastic chihuahua faced gran), finished the night off with some drinks and a trip to the local Kareoke spot - you have no idea how funny Kareoke is in Portueguese, apparently rythm and talent are not necessary when doing Kareoke in Brazil. With that in mind we all stepped up the mic. I managed to kill one of Bob Marleys biggest hits...but I didnt shoot the deputy and Vix brought sexy back to an old >Roxette classic.

Next day we spent a very unexciting morning in the S.Paulo park before heading off to the aeroporto on our way to Buenous Aires and Ushuaia.

The trick to this was we were landing in B.Aires at 21h30 and flying out at 05h30 the next morning. With no place to stay we decided to make the aeroporto our home for the night, bad idea! Their chairs were made out of wire and were possibly recycled from old torture devices used by the Spanish when they colonised this part of the world, so we slept on the granite floor which was only slightly warmer and more comfortable. The next mornings flight was the first time we actually managed to sleep so by this time jet lag was hitting harder than Mike Tyson on Red Bull.
