Rio has a really nice landscape and for sure the christ to see. When i went there i had bad luck with the weather. I couldn't see the christ while blue sky. Anyway the view was just awesome. At the Chris i met Rebecca and her Family. she were offer me help and we stayed the whole time together at the christ. For me something i remember well as this is something i would always hope it happens to me. Thanks Rebecca for the time you spend with me. In Rio i stayed the whole time at a couch surfing place from Leo. Thanks man that i could stay that long. I remember Acai :-) At the beginning of my Brazil tour i was eating a brown/red sauce which wasn't taste after anything. Leo explained my that this comes from a fruit and with a lot of sugar its really delicious. If you go to Rio you should go out to lapa which is the party mile like Dusseldorf in Germany :-) . In rio i went for an Russian music concert with some couch surfers. Hehe i like this kind of music and it was really nice to see a samba dancing folk while dancing to this kind of music. In Lapa you should also go out to dance to reggaeton which is crazy especially when you will see how the girls are dancing to it. I just say all is moving :-) . As the landscape is so nice you should spend some days to hike sugar love and ... from there you'll be able to see all nice spots. Brazil is proud about there football so i went up to see the famous stadium in town ..... Its about to be renovated for the world cub 2014. For sure afterwards i had so see a football match to make me an own picture about the differences to the German football. Together with Leo i went to the stadium reachable via train that's most of the time really packed :-). We saw the match between fasco vs banfield. Hmm even that are big and good teams i found the match not special there i prefer matches of my club FC Bayern Muenchen. Copacabana is not that much beautiful i was just felling its famous but to packed for sure with a lot of lady not wearing much dress :-) . From Rio i took the bus to Porto Alegre 28h where i changed to the air plane to fly via Uruguay to buenos aires. In Uruguay we had nomally to change the airplane but they decided to continue the flight to ba. The offer me to keep seated till all passenger from Montevideo to buenos aires entered. That was funny as i could see all those things they are doing before take off e.g. cleaning of the seats :-) or hoover the floor.

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:32:39 -0800 Brazil - Ilha Grande http://wobistn.posterous.com/brazil-ilha-grande-58276 http://wobistn.posterous.com/brazil-ilha-grande-58276

Ilha Grande is nice for vacation :-) Actually that time i did realize that my tour is more than a vacation as i was already 5weeks on tour. If you plan to go there please don't take the catamaran as i did. Those one cost you 25 bugs instead of 6 with a normal boat. ARRRRR. Before going there make sure you have enough cash with you as just some few places accept credit cards and you'll not find any ATM. The island it the perfect place for nice hikes to silent beaches but don't hike with flip flops because of snakes and bumpy tracks. As my ex girlfriend knows i was always trying to spot a snake in Namibia or South Africa :-) . A German couple i met here which has done a world tour some years before have seen a big snake while crossing the hiking track. Dammit that i didn't had the chance

@Sabrina: Still no chance for an anaconda but when i am going to Bolivia i try my best to find one for you might be as birthday present.

Use the chance to enjoy some coconut water and maracuja sucos as there are so nice there. The place is the perfect one to be lazy what i did. I just went out once by kayak to do some small exercising but i end up on a sailing boat. I ask them to take a picture of me and they invite me on their boat for an campari and nice fish dish. Just awesome as we could speak a lot as i couldn't speak portuguese and they didn't understood english but anyway they was so nice to me that at the end i was almost drunken from the campari they didn't wanted to stop giving me :-)

If you plan to visit those island don't miss lopes mendes beach. They telling that this is the nice's beach from Brazil. Also don't skip t1 trail which is a small loop for beginners but you should combine with the walk to the small waterfall as i did. I love waterfalls that's why i still plan to go to the iguazu falls between Brazil,Argentina and Paraguay.

If you plan to go to rio after ilha grande as i did you should spend the little more money just 5€ more to go by one of this express shuttles which include the transfer to another island(forgot the name) as well bus shuttle with door to door service.

I spend one week there which makes definitely sense to relax and to enjoy sunbathing. While listen my music >>>king of leons

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:20:00 -0800 Sao Paulo http://wobistn.posterous.com/saopaulo http://wobistn.posterous.com/saopaulo

In Sao Paulo arrived i had first of all bad luck with the weather. From time to time it was raining but not really heavy. The whole week in sp I spent at a couch surfing place. As i haven't surfed so much couches so far i was quite shy. Since the beginning Lucas said "feel at home". He was so relaxed and nice to me that i was believing to be at home together with him and his sister. I especially remember a chat about life,emotions and behaviour to our self. His mom died. She was working really hard before she got told to die. After that time she still understood to relax and to enjoy life before she died. Unfortunately my father did got that chance before he died. Actually we had the same story to tell :-). Lucas shown me the differences to people from south america and Europe. He said we don't understand to life in the present and actually for me that's 100% the case. I always wants to think about the next steps while i forgot to enjoy the moment. My go al for this year to change this!!!!

SP is really expensive place but this is for you guys nothing new. In Brazil you are often paying your food per kilo which is really really bad for me as i always eating abnormal portions. My friends from my previous company knows what i mean :-).

I was leaving in Paulista district which is actually really beautiful and one of the best area to stay. Paulista is close to Augusta street where you will find a lot of nice clubs like >>>clash

During the day i went to MASP gallery(brazil's best arts gallery) for free or was walking to the old city. Ok ok i didn't went the whole way by foot i took the subway as i like it to use public transportation. Sė and Lux subway station are nice to visit. At Praça da Sé you will find a cathedral (new gothic). While drinking some Sucos de Maracujá everthing is easy going. At Mercado Municipal don't buy you much fruits as they are really expensive there. Just taste some fruits and buy small things :-). A must for all Sp travellers is Parque Ibirapuera. I went there for almost one day(see pictures).

If you heading one time into paulista ave remember to eat your dinner insight the building on the opposite site from masp. There you can have buffet with no kilo limit for 9.9 BRL.

In Sp i joined a cs meeting? With 180 people in a small place it was really crowded. After that meeting we went to an rock party where i lost my german sim card. Don't know how :-). Please don't send sms to those number anymore. Will publish quite soon a new german number :-).

Thais thank you to taken me to the free samba concert and deliciouse bakery. Yummy the cake was nice. I hope to have one time the chance to show you my place whereever i will end up. Since Sp i started to eat cakes let see if it will helps me to become fet. Your tip about the free instrumental samba was just awesome. It was funny as i thought to go there alone but as i couldn't find the place i ask someone for the way. So i met Eric which went together with me to those place. Thanks for the hotdog man hope to see you one time in germany or wherever in the world.

As i stayed in Sp during a weekend i had the chance to enjoy the nightlife. Thanks Frix for the nice party. You knows how to make party. Even without to speak portugese i found a way to communicate with an lady from sp.

Before i left SP to Ihla Grande island i met Cathi a former schoolmate. She is working for Lufthansa as a flight assistant. Crazy how small the world can be. Just due to a Face msg i recognized that she is in SP. Thanks for the great afternoon and the long chat we had.

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 10:17:36 -0700 Manaus/Sao Paulo http://wobistn.posterous.com/manaussao-paulo http://wobistn.posterous.com/manaussao-paulo

From Manaus i took me the air plane to sao paulo as the rate for it was quite fair. I paid 172€. The flight was supposed to be at 23h but.... after almost 1hour power outage and i mean really everything went down no ups or whatever took place that means the whole airport area was absolutly dark. Manaus will be a place where games for the football worldcup 2014 will be shown. I guess till that time they have to improve the situation a littel bit. At the aiport while checkin and everything is really dark a nice feeling you should have it tried one time.

In Manaus i still had 38° and in sao paulo is just 23°  :-(

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:56:26 -0700 Amazonas/Manaus http://wobistn.posterous.com/amazonasmanaus http://wobistn.posterous.com/amazonasmanaus

After 5 days boat trip on the amazon i stayed some futher days in manaus. Unfortunatly i couldn't went into the jungle as i got seriously problems with my stomach. Two days on the boat and 3 days after i had crazy diarrhea might be caused by an parasite inside the water on boat as someone told me. Honestly such a strange diarrhea i did never had before. Fortunatly its now almost over and i could eat again normal. The last day on boat and in manuas i didn't eat anything as i couldn't. At the boat i spend some hours in front of the toilett :-)  Hehe thats fun and i was wondering that people from the crew of such transport ship where the englishman, scotsman and me went on didn't said anything to me either nor recognized me. The boat was realy nice it was an transport ship not a tourism boat so we had plenty stops where always plenty stuff was loaded . Just the tons of onions wasn't that much nice as if you have problems with your stomach and have to smell onions the whole time you could belive me i was quite often short before to vomit. So guys as i didn't went to jungle the adventure pic still have to wait but i will do the jungle tour in bolivia where its also much cheaper. Anyway i will post some pic in the next days.

Sleeping in a hammock was really nice except that there wasn't much space between each hammock so it wasn't unsual that sometimes the knie or foot from the neighbour came across :-) .

In manaus arrived i was first of all really happy to be able to buy me big bottel of cola and some mangos to help me with my stomach. Manaus was the first place in brazil where i could spend time in a park to enjoy the sun without to feel unsafe. An the park was clean even it was a public park.
