Winding our way up to Curitiba, we stopped at the beachside town of Balneario Camboriu.....the Vancouver of Brazil.
A nice surprise was that it was much warmer than we expected, as Porto Alegre and Curitiba are pretty much like Melbourne in terms of winter weather. So once the shorts were dug out of the pack, it was an opportunity to take it easy for a few days, see the baby 'disco jesus' - surely Rio's baby brother, plus explore the rainforest along the coast.
One surprise as we were wandering along the park boardwalk a few km's from town, was an odd number of individual blokes or those with a 'mate' loitering beyond a rocky outcrop along the beach....close to dusk.
Nina pointed out that it was unusual for so many dudes to be interested in nature or contemplating life, and that perhaps this was a similar meeting place to that in Stanley Park, Vancouver where dude love in a park is all the rage.
Either that or we just wandered into an outdoor drug lab. Either way I wasn't that keen to see what the night awakened.....
Disco Jesus! Younger brother of Rio Jesus.
Vancouver's brother from another mother.
Look they have utes here too! I saw a more typical aussie type ute as well.....we aren't the only ones!
