Porto Alegre....

Our actual plan was to go on monday (6th of Oct) to Florianapolis, but when we arrived there the weather wasn't that great so we continued our trip to Porto Alegre, which meant we spent all monday in the bus (4 hours Curitiba-Floripa and 6,5 hours Floripa-Porto Alegre)
We were so lucky that Andre's parents were also available on monday already and that we could stay there.... They ordered a pizza on monday evening and after that we went to rest.
Tuesday morning, after a good nice sleep, they took us for a sightseeing tour of the city by car. The tour was wonderful and we saw a lot, for lunch we went to an amazing place with a great buffet!
In the evening we went to a Churrasceira 35 where they had live music and dance and a lot of food and meat!!!! Also Andre`s sister Michelle joined us. Thanks to Mr. Cardoso and Miss Marcia, Andre's parents for taking us there and also to Andre for his suggestion ;)
On Wednesday morning Michelle took us to the centre, and we saw the "Mercado Publico",
Cathedral, "Gasometro" and Rua da Praia (which means road of the beach, but there is actual no beach :-)) For lunch we went to a small place in a very nice area of Porto Alegre, and as a dessert we ate "Torta de Sorvete" which is delicious :-) In the evening after a nice "lanche" we went by taxi to the Rodoviaria to take our bus to Iguaçu, a 13 hour trip. More about that in the next post :-)

Gostariamos de agradecer a amabilidade dos Pais do André, Sr. Cardoso e Sra. Marcia, que nos acolheram na sua casa, e nos trataram com muito carinho. Adorámos estar com vocês :)
