A Very Rainy Day in Sao Paulo

Today was a bit of a washout as it rained literally none stop from the moment we woke up to the moment we went to bed again. But we thought we'd try and make the most of it anyway!

Today was a state wide bank holiday for Sao Paulo which also meant that w everything indoors was mainly closed!

We first of all took the metro to Avenida Paulista, this is the main street in the heart of the cities business district.

On this street is Brazil's 1,000th McDonalds, set in an old bank building and currently suitably kitted out for the new Minions movie.

From here we headed to the art gallery but the queue was so big we decided to give it a miss. We then headed to the mall to find the Palmeiras shop. After much searching we found it in the corner of the basement but it was of course closed!

From here we headed to play some pool, watch the first Euros semi final with a local beverage and then out for dinner with some live music. Bring back the sun!!!Read more
