We stopped at a Cambio to exchange $5K as money goes out fast here. We picked up the Porsche and were on our way to the next destination by noon. We are very appreciative of the excellent and collegial Porsche service in Rio.
Anisa was an excellent navigator. We had only 2 wrong turns and both were occasioned by incomprehensible signage. The drive through Rio and its harbor was scenic. Damage from the deluge last night was being cleared and it continued to rain on & off all day. Once out of the u
rban zone, the area was mostly a jungle forest preserve. We lunched on empanadas at a roadside combo market and prepared food place. The “Torpedoes” or Kibbi and the empanada with a beef and egg filling were the tastiest. We arrived at the “Paradise” country inn mid afternoon ready for a well-deserved rest. Which was more stressful: driving or navigating? We are now positioned for serious driving in Brazil’s Central East. Tomorrow, the plan is to cover 450KM to Victoria. I estimate 4 hours, but Anisa & Steve think that it will be more than 6.Our dinner with the duenos of “Paradise” was full of laughs as we
told each other our stories. They are a lovely German expatriate couple with a 2-year-old son.
