Bye bye Brasil

It feels rather sad to leave Brasil after three weeks here, especially the wonderful people. But tomorrow we move on to Buenos Aires! One thing we are rather happy about leaving behind however, is the bloody hot weather. But after talking with some portenos on the beach today, we realised that the same feverish temperature will welcome us in Buenos Aires. Seems like we've managed to time the hottest summer for this area in a 100 years. Lucky us.

38 degrees and not a cloud in the sky sets a certain pace. We take siesta from about 12-15 (enjoying Alvin and the chipmunks or the olympic games inauguration on a tv 4 times as big as ours at home), and the set afternoon activity is a looong fika somewhere with air con. Prime time on the beach is before 11 or after 17. 

Alma is in a very good travelling age where it doesn't matter so much who is holding her, as long as it is someone. 

Last night we went out for pizza with the owners of our current home...

... and for dessert we had - pizza! Toppings included cheese, chocolate, doce de leite, strawberries, banana and cherries. Yummy? Oh yes!

Avocados the size of Junias head will be missed from Brazil. Together with the mangoes, passion fruits, pine apple...

More and less happy backpackers
