Up Up and Away

Last view of Port Alegre from the airport

Well it's finally arrived our last taste of Brazil before the long flight home.

We spent the morning having a quick trip into Gramado and then lunch - barbeque! but very tasty. Then the trip back to Port Alegre for the flight.

We were met at the airport by Ingo the GSE co-ordinator and we said our last farewells and flew from Port Alegre to Rio a 2 hour flight.

The change to the international flight at Rio was a lot easier than it had been coming in as our baggage was loaded in Port Alegre and would go all the way through to Heathrow (we hoped) and we only had to find the right gate. The airport was pretty devoid of shops and anywhere to get anything to eat only one food outlet and a little expensive £5.00 for an iced tea. It was dark so we could see little of Rio only the lights. Then on to the plane for the 11.5 hour flight home.

Good bye Brazil its been great.
