The challenge today, CUSTOMS, but we can sort this.
Got our entrance ticket and went to office 2 after a bit of a wait and then visited office 1, office 3, the warehouse and then repeat, several times. All unpacked and ready we head out at 14.45 and need gas. There is a gas station just there100 meters away, no you need to go here there and everywhere and 5km later you will enter the airport. We used a slightly different approach and 16 miles later and 2 tolls and a car park ticket later we entered the airport, no problem we are here.
Now to collect our luggage, left at the taxi office, here is an admission both Martin and I knew we would fall off, we did not however realise it would be outside terminal 1 at the airport. Martin had stopped and I pulled in alongside him as he leant his bike onto the sidestand, our panniers touched and that was our first incident, hey ho.
Finally the adventure begins, we head off and we are both surprised by how green everything is, preconceived ideas and all that. Long straight roads and lots of lorries.
We eventually arrive in Azul and set about finding a contact given to us and we need to find La Poste. Well needles and haystacks come to mind having passed and surrounded the waypoint on the sat nav several times. We finally travelled slowly down a side road and a cyclist turned around and headed straight for us, ´La Poste´ he shouted, si si we chanted, much pointing and instruction followed and he turned and rode away, we followed his instruction and then a car stopped and said´La Poste´si si, more pointing and instruction and we arrived at La Poste:
We will give a detailed account of the evening later.
