My initial impressions of New Zealand have been good. For example, I stayed at a hotel near the airport and then walked two miles to the train station with my suitcase. Three different people, pulled over, got out of their car and asked me if I was ok or needed help. I said I was ok and on my way to the train station and they offered to give me a ride. In Brazil I walked three block with my suitcase and some guy pulls a knife out on me. Also price seem cheaper then I was expecting. The first picture is an extinct volcano I walked by and the last three pictures are of the hotel I am staying at which is in Auckland and on a bay, for 70 to 80 dollars a night. In Austin a lesser hotel would cost twice as much.Les mer
ReisendeI was staying at a hotel close to the cruise port. The hotel reviews are good but people say the neighborhood is unsafe in Sao Paulo. I had a ten minute walk from the bus terminal to the hotel along a busy roadway at 4:30 in the afternoon and some guy pulls a knife out to try and get some money from me. I was very surprised and the guy seemed even more surprised that I did not flinch when he pulled the knife out and he quickly hide the knife. So yeah, I am not recommending visiting Sao Paulo.
