Ilhabela

The rainy weather on Ilhabela forced us to take a hotel room instead
of camping. We chose the "Real Villa Bella" because the staff was
nice, the room was clean with a garden view, and facilities included
swimming pool, tennis court, bicycles for free.

Sao Paulo to Sao Sebastiao

What a crazy road that was! 25km steep downhill, 2 lanes and lots of
trucks!

Our Hertz rental car

Sao Paulo

By mistake we rented our car in Sao Bernardo, at a shopping center 45
minutes south of Sao Paulo. Our taxi driver got lost - total chaos.
Finally we found it!

Sao Paulo

Arriving in Sao Paulo on time after 15 hrs. The seats of Pluma bus
were comfortable, only 1 stop at 10pm where we were forced to leave
the bus. The only negative thing was that the driving was too fast at
night through some winding roads.
