Tuesday 24thApril 2012 no 18
Well the Brazilian BBQ did not work out last night.We walked the 4 klms to the restaurant in the cool of the evening just to find out the did not do BBQ for the evening meal,we then walked back to aTaxi stand and they took us to the Crockadoodle 

Andes

restaurant where they advertised they had   Crocodile meat
So all our taste buds are rearing to go salivating  ,but again we are dissapointed, no crock tonight, so we had steak in stead.And it was delious .
Taxi back to our hotel as we had about 350 Klm to ride.
Early breakfast and on the road at 8-30am We had the last look around this beautiful mountain village and headed to Sao Paulo.
But first Renato wanted to show us some of the best motorcycle roads in Brazil, and they were.Vic reckons it was one of the best roads he has ever ridden and he has ridden a few,80klms hot mix varied corners just magic.
Arriving at Sao Paulo at 3pm the traffic was dreadful, Renato was ducking and weaving through the traffic just like the Brazians do, forgetting we were behind him riding like Australians do.Bruno and Nina were getting stressed and asked him to keep in one lane and to go a little slowere as it was hard for them to keep up.  
Then we hit the major traffic motorcyclists were passing on the right and the left, cars pushing in, and with our huge panniers it was hard to keep out of the way.
Arriving at the hotel ,it had a very steep underground car park, Renato and Erica went down but parked at the end, Vic and I came down and there was no where to go. But with Vic's skill and daring we managed to miss everybody.Bruno refused to come down so Renato went and got his bike.
We had to wait until 7pm for our bags to arrive as we had to repack as we were going to leave at 4am.
Dinner was booked at 8pm at a real Brazilian BBQ restaurant called Bovinus
www.bovinus .com.br check it out ,it was the best meal and of course it was our last supper.
Saying goodbye to Erica in the foyer as her plane was not leaving till the afternoon we went to bed for a few hours sleep
