Still have my hire car, and today ventued onto the brazillian motorways, quite an experience. Drove down the coast to Torres, just over the border in Rio Grande do Sul , it has a lovely location by the sea with wonderful views from the lighthouse above the town. This afternoon had a somewhat frustrating drive, mainly due to the Brazillian`s lack of road signs. I think they must be expecting Uruguay to invade and so have had them all removed. The roads are not in the best of shape and I got completely lost in the rural lanes. After two hours of what should have been a 30 minute drive, I finally saw the church in the town square I was aiming for. On the other side of a bloody big river. So near yet so far. Eventually I made my way to Cambará do Sul. It was worth it as I is in a lovely location high in the mountains of the Sierra Geral. Not many tourists about, I am the only guest in my hotel. It made their day when I turned up.
