Itajaí
We were brought to the bus station by our Brazilian friends in the middle of the night. I was hoping for a good bus... and then a brand new double-decker bus arrived. We said goodbye and got on. A great bus, really, I was happy. In the morning at 7 o'clock we arrived in Itajaí and went directly to the hotel by taxi. There the receptionist organized a transfer to the amusement park for us. A retiree who had nothing better to do and liked to tell us everything that came to her mind, even if we couldn't speak Portuguese, it didn't matter. Maybe because her car didn't have a radio. She dropped us off in front of the park and our excitement grew.
Entrance cost 49 francs, quite expensive for South America. It was cloudy, Friday. Therefore, not many people. Muriel gave me a choice. Either breakfast first and then go on the rides or go on the rides first and... and I already sent her on the roller coaster, holding her hand tightly.
We went on a few rides and around noon we went to a show. For 20 CHF, you got a 1-hour show and lunch. The show was called Excalibur and was really action-packed and Muriel was also thrilled when she saw the horses.
On the second day, we decided to stay another night and had a lazy TV day. Just doing nothing, lying in bed, watching movies, and booking a few things. The weather wasn't great anyway. In the evening, we had to go outside for a bit, to post a few things and grab a late-night snack. We also quickly looked at the city, although we only stopped in Itajaí because of the amusement park. There was a stunning church there.
