Our final dinner
The runaway train
The distillery
Entry to Canela
Today we were to go to a post conference lunch event organised by the RC Canela - well that's what we found out when we got there. A pretty miserable day - rain and drizzle.
We had some time to look round Canela there were a few strange 'statues' placed arround the ton as they had had a recent conference about children's issues.
The lunch was good - barbequed meat but good all done by the club for about 100. Lunch over some entertainment a few musical moments by Rotarians - pretty professional.
After lunch we went to a cashasa distillery and a few samples - hic! Like many new businesses this was way out in the sticks but seemed to be happy with their location and producing some excellent cashasa.
Back to Gramado and on the way we saw the runaway train coming through a building which was a great tourist attraction.
Back to the hotel until we went to a restaurant for the DG's farewell dinner - a small ffair with the team, the DG, the RI Presidents Represenative from Portugal and the President of Gramado Rc and one of the conference organisers in a very up market Portuguese establishment. A great meal and a fitting end to our visit and our culinary experience.
The icing of this final event was the ride from the restaurant to our hotel in a stretch limo - we tried for the disco and bar but they weren't there.
To bed and to pack
