There we are, on the 6th of December we flew from Cuzco to Salvador, this was quite a long trip.
The first flight was from Cuzco to Lima at 7 am with LAN Peru, only 1 hr and no problems.
In Lima we had a 2 and a half hour wait and took the next flight to Sao Paulo with TAM it was almost a 5 hr flight, but the service was good and we got a lot of nice food (my first real meal after my food poisioning ;-)) When we arrived to Sao Paulo, (which is an enormous airport) we had to change our ticket and we got some food while waiting for the last flight of that day to Salvador de Bahia. This flight took 2 hrs and by midnight (time difference included) we arrived to our hostel in Salvador....
Sunday after a nice sleep and brazilian breakfast with lots of fruit and juice...hmmmm, we went to the beach, the weather was great, warm and sunny!!!! In the afternoon we went to Barra shopping, the biggest shopping in Salvador to buy some Xmas gifts :)
Unfortunately the days after the weather changed completely and the always so sunny Salvador changed into the wettest city... so no more beach, and more shopping..... :(
On tuesday we visited the Pelourinho (centre of Salvador) with the colourful houses and the beautiful church, which has so many golden elements...incredible....
Because the weather was so bad we decided to leave earlier for Rio de Janeiro, we booked a flight with TAM (which is almost impossible and a real challenge to keep your patience) for thursday..
On thursday we flew to Rio, with a delay we arrived around 6pm to Rio... also in Rio it was raining and our idea of getting quickly to the hostel ("Margarida's Pousada" really nice, clean and friendly staff) didn't work because of all the traffic jams ;(
Around 19,30 we finally arrived to the hostel and went straight for dinner to Frontera, a buffet restaurant where for 28,99 reais you can eat as much as you want (sushi, meat, vegetables, salads,carpaccio,etc..)

Friday and Saturday the weather didn't change to much and we did more Xmas shopping and went a bit to the beach when it was not raining.... It is incredible but the image of Brazil without rain is for sure not true and they know a lot of rain as well ;(
