The paradise on earth

day 18 - day 22: (12-11-2008 to 16 - 11-2008)

ola, bom dia, todo boa? retorno de ma boquinha aventura a chapada dos veadeiros. esta uma lugar bonita. agora eu est en Cuiaba. e a manha vaje en Pantanal.

okay how are you doing all. i´m back from the 4 days trip to the Alto Paraiso it was a heaven on earth. really amazing place to stay for a couple of days. the tour was amazing and the people ive met are great. All are brasilians so i couldnt spoke any english now, hehe. the people ive met there praised how well i could speak portuguese and only be here in Brasil for about 2 weeks. i think i could speak brasilian better than french (which i had learned for about 5 years). maybe i´m more talented in portuguese and spanish. anyway ive stayed in a amazing pousada, had a pleasant conversation with the boss of the pousada (he was shocked that holland is about 20 m under the sea level) and the first day in pusada i saw 4 tucanos.. amazing birds. in the chapada it self i did alot of swimming. really good and pure water. ive learned alot about cerrado plants (alot are medicinal) and one in particular was a cure for diabetes. Cerrado landscape is about similar to the savannah of Africa except it has less animals. if you have seen the movie of george of the jungle and you saw the big grassy landscapes with the hills.. yeah it´s kinda like that. anyway my adventure is going in fast pace now.... and please send me more money :))))). i´m staying in Pousada Ecoverde that´s run by Joel Souza and his family. a really pleasant place to stay and Joel is a amazing man. he has alot of interesses and could speak alot of language. Dutch aswell because he had listened alot to the Wereldomroep. Joel also run the tour to the pantanal. about
R$ 200 a day, which make my pantanal trip alot cheaper than my chapada. another bummer is that there is no danger of malaria here in pantanal. so i´m dragging my malaria medicines for nothing. Photos will follow folks.. and because i´m off for pantanal this will be my last updated.

PS:i do som tirolevene... (gliding with 2 cables for about 800 m) amazing view but it was too short
