Hola friends!
Today I arrived in Brazil!
To do even more, I had a flight a 6.50 morning from Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and then another from Rio to Salvador, with two different to take airlines.
As you may recall, I have a flight to pack since beginning my journey, everytime I missed almost it. There are no exception.
This time I left the hotel in advance to ensure that I will be on time. The taxi arrived at the 4.00 am. After 5 minutes we stop because the car (thanks Renault..) Was overheating. Another taxi picked me and we drove 40 minutes to the airport. And at the airport, what think? I you wrong one! There are two airports in BA, a major one for a smaller mainly for domestic flights and international flights. My flight was of course a planned for the small... So I created another taxi and I don't know me, if you remember in the movie TAXI with Samy Nacery, but it was more or less the same. The driver was going super fast to ensure I will my flight to fly (but unlike my dear friend Samy this one had no wings or spoilers) almost over other cars and almost burning the engine! I made it in time for Rio thanks God. I have just 90 km for nothing...
But I was given my luggage directly to Salvador, just with the same airline, apparently here is not possible with 2 different ones. Time with only 1 ½ hours between flights, go through customs, to get my luggage, run around the Rio Airport (you know, one of the largest in South America..), I came only 2 minutes before checking in closed! Lucky again!
Antoine came to pick me up and we went to his place. First thing: the beach. Yes, I must say the Antoine lives next to the beach, overlooking the sea from its terrace. Very nice house, I have my own bedroom and an en suite bathroom. Better than all hotels that I went to!
To the beach is just amazing: empty, clean, clear sand and beautiful waves. The sea is almost too hot. But I dont worry guys manage...
It starts just perfectly! Tomorrow we will go that old town (Antoine lives in the North) and then let's see you! No plans...
I post pics as soon as I can.
