Day 8 in the Big Brutha Special Bus

NOT MEANT TO BE A D-DAY II.I - FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THERE´S YELLOW PAGES!

Number of hours in the Special Bus: 5

Number of times we lost the car key: 1

The instuctions failed in the first two minutes, over to the Yellow Pages Maps which get us to what seems like the one and only sign for the 65 in the whole of the town.

Five hours later we arrive in Tiradentes and the 1900´s which cobbled streets, horse and carts, cows randomly strolling down the road, ATM´s that don´t accept anyone´s card apart from Amy´s, steam trains and secret gardens. We find our hostel which requires either the tourist information or a neighbour to telephone to, to get their attention...knocking on the door the old fashioned way does not do the trick. We check in and have fast forwarded to the 70´s with green and pink tiled walls, a bright red fridge, a bright yellow freezer, lights that get brighter when you switch the shower on...retro huh!

For dinner we try and find the Italian restaurant, Vik is in charge of the map so put your walking shoes on folks ;) turns out to be a little too expensive for our tastes and we head back to the main square. We end up in a bar...in THE bar and get kicked out at some unreasonably early hour because they want to close...! Duschbags!
