Sau Paulo and Beunos Aires

Wow. The steaks are huge. Sau Paulo had a churassco Rodiro, where waiters carrying huge freshly barbequed chunks of beef, lamb, pork, sausages, beef, beef etc carved it onto your plate if you so much as looked in their direction. Carprinhas -cocktails- were served, none of this namby pamby double vodka and lime, more like 300ml of, err, probably vodka, could have been pinga which would explain the hangover, an entire fresh lime and some sprigs of something. It cost less than a McDonalds - think 1.60gbp (no pound key on this keyboard!) for the food, 1gbp for the cocktail. A great meating place.

Beunos Aires didn`t disapoint either - La Estancia, on Lavalle, with its Bife Especial- slightly more expensive, but 2 pounds (weight) of the best beef stake I`ve ever had.

But its not just about food, we`ve seen some culture, there were also a few tango dancers on the street. We`re just slightly wilting in the 30`C heat.

I´d definitely like to return to Brazil. I liked the 3 - Dimensional feel of Sau Paulo with its hundreds of Sky Scrapers.
