Subject: Post: Uhh.. Second night spent on transit. We just arrived to Rio de Janeiro by a night bus. The bus which departed Sao Paolo at 01AM and arrived to Rio in the morning was actually comfortable, much more comfortable than aircraft seats and I slept well during the entire trip.The previous night was also spent sleeping on transit, on the flight from Madrid. After landing to Sao Paolo early in the morning we checked in our baggages to bus station luggage storage and met a local guy Leonardo with whom we spent the rest of the day. Leonardo obviously lists "running" as his hobby on Couchsurfing, and that's what the day pretty much consisted of.. Walking 23km (according to Fitbit) through sights of Sao Paolo. Now my legs are pretty much toast, but anyway it was quite fun. Me and Timo as photographers would appreciate a bit slower approach though, not easy to concentrate on photos if everybody else is half a block away in 30 seconds.In the evening we had some nice Sao Paolo fingerfood and beers with Leonardo and his parents, and a self-service lunch earlier wasn't bad either. At least we are not going to starve in South America, all the food so far has been great. And I love the local fruits, fresh bananas taste quite a bit different than the ones shipped to Finland.
