Dear diary....

We´ll its now Feb 4th, and I am in Campinas staying at Evandero´s house www.pisteriros.com.br . Cheri and I met him last year inthe campground in Uruguay with another biker called Peterson they were starting their journey to Chile. He is a great person and invited me to check out his new business. He is starting up a company to provide motorbike adventure and tours as well as a place to park your bike or stop and recover from your trip on the bike . He also can provide information on routes and plan trips for group rides , very useful if you want to go and travel and find interesting places to see !
After I left Saprianga I headed north towards thru the Serra´s undeing up in Cambara do sur up to Bom Jardim da serra then down the Rio do Rastro road to Florinopolis thru the backcountry for me slow, dirt roads are the best way to enjoy the flavour of the country and the people. I managed to get lost a few time with the backroads but how lost can you really get with maps and your gut feelings ! Nice scenery and clean water simular to what you would find in Canada or other countries . I ended up in Florinopolis in the rain... great ! No beach time or women to look at !! Or flying !! Picked up and bug and was sick for a day here as well or was it from drinking Caipirinha !
Well after 2 days of torrential rain and my cloths not drying I decided it was time to move north. Good decision as now my cloths dried and I was having fun again, went up past Joinville and over to the beach city called Guaratuba.
