The long walk

We are having a very lazy day today as yesterday... we decided to have a wander around the streets of Sao Paulo. In many of our guide books they give some helpful options for what to do if you only have a certain amount of time on one place - no such luck with this city and due to its sheer size, I now know why!

So... with plenty of water and the travely book in our bag, we went walking. We headed towards to MASP (Museum of Art, Sao Paulo) and discovered a lovely Park opposite, so we ventured in. It was the stangest place with really tall trees which seemed to cast a very calming auru onto the place. The seats were all carved from lovely dark wood and the place was so quiet despite just being off one of the main Avenues.

From there we grabbed some lunch - hot dogs with everything on them (and I mean everything) and started wandering back along the street in the direction of the main Park in SP. After about an hour we reached our destination... a massive park in the city with 3 lakes, a planetarium and numerous running tracks. From there we discovered we weren't too far from one of the main shopping malls - and one of the 2 Tiffanys in SP. We headed in that direction and an hour later we got to the mall!!! We were shattered... and after walking past a Louis Vitton shop and other extremely expensive places... we headed for the exit and a bus a home... but we didn't know where to get the bus, so we walked home!!!! In total we did over 10 miles and hopefully this link will work... the long walk. We got to see lovely parts of SP, but they were all hidden behind electric fences. Just one more Tiffanys to find here and that's me until Sydney.

I'm going to sit in the sun now - even though the clouds have gathered. xx
