Dec 10, 2006 - Porto Alegre

All you have to know is that I got mugged by 2 piranha-looking men right after I got to my hotel after a 15-hour bus ride from Florianopolis (Yes, for you, the geographically-challenged folks, Brazil is just as big as USA although this map doesnt seem like so).

The first thing that I did when I got here was to very nearly break my thumb, but undeterred I got to the hostel and went straight to sleep for a few hours (after very nearly breaking the window in my room).Well, I was going to spend a couple of nights in Porto Alegre, but the bus company has different plans. ...

Well, we boarded our bus at Foz de IGUAÇU at 17:30 pm and it was a nice bus. We arrived in a rainy Porto Alegre and found a cheap hotel which served us well. ...
