Day 31: A little more of Curitiba

Image
I started off the next day with a visit to Parque Tanguá , at the outer part of the city. It took awhile to get to and find, but I made it. A very simple park, not that great, but it's a bit higher up and you get a view of the city. View from the observation decks View from the observation decks

For my last live match for this World Cup, I watched Honduras v. Ecuador in the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba. It was my first night game too; it was pretty cold, but still nice weather.

Day 30 (Part 1): Curitiba

Image
After visiting Inhotim, we rushed back to the city so I could catch my 19:45 bus to Curitiba. The trip to Curitiba would be 14 hours long, and I booked myself on a sleeper bus. The bus was actually pretty comfortable. The seats were big and they recline almost all the way so you could lie down. They even give you a blanket and a pillow. The sleeper bus The trip took a little over 13 hours and I arrived in Curitiba at 9am. While in Belo it was nice, warm, and sunny, in Curitiba it was COLD! Curitiba is a located in the more southern part of Brasil, and it really felt like 'winter' there (technically, it is winter now in Brasil). Everywhere I looked there were people wearing scarves, boots, and coats, and there I was in my Toms and 2 sweaters. It was about 10-12ºC in the morning, but it went up a bit to 14-15º in the afternoon. I was able to stay warm enough in my sweater and jacket.
