Sandflies in Paradise
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007I´m waiting at the Sao Paulo airport (not the one where there was the crash because the runway is too short) for my flight to Lima and I thought i might pass the time with blogging!
There´s not really a lot to say though.
Went out to have fun and experience the nightlife of Santos with Marianna and friends, fun was had.
Went to the Island, sat on a nice beach, accidentally walked for AGES to a very nice beach and was rewarded by said nice beach. I basically did this for 3 full days. Unfortunately I was sharing the beach with sand flies, vicious little buggers that bit me all over, so now I have sand fly bites on my hands, legs and arms and they are very very itchy. I know I should stop itching but it feels so good!
I also got a little sun burnt and a little tanned.
Stayed in a place called Sinbad´s that had no pirate flavour whatsoever.
´´But it´s winter´´ I hear you say. Yes, it is, but it seems that the coast of Brazil is never really that cold at all and the sun shines all year round. My last and first days when i arrived and left were the only ones with a chill in the air.
Then it was back to Santos and then today to Sao Paulo. I also sent a big package home today in a box bigger than was required (so don´t be too shocked when it turns up Mum, Dad and Luke).
Have to book some accommodation no so it´s off off and away, I´ll report back again when there is more to say.
