Day 10

Today's plan was to go to Serra dos Orgaos National Park next to Teresopolis to hike the whole day. Therefore we got up very early and took the first bus. When we arrived we decided spontaneously to hike into the park and sleep in a shelter. The plan was to hike to a spot called Pedra do Sino. The trail was very beautiful and led through different vegetation. After 3,5 hours we arrived at the shelter, dropped our backpacks and hiked up the rest to the top. It was very cloudy and windy up there. We couldn't see very far. Later in the shelter we ate our poor food, as we were not prepared to stay overnight we didn't have enough food with us. The other people were cooking and talking very loud, but we tried to sleep very early to save our energy. It was really cold, we were on 2100 metres above sea level, and we didn't have a warm blanket or sleeping bag, so we were freezing. Then a miracle happened: Maira organized 2 sleeping bags for us from the housekeeper and a guy gave us plenty of food which were leftovers. So we could also cook and fill our empty stomachs. Happily we went to sleep.Read more
