We then drove over to the biggest park in the city. They really do up the holiday decorations here. There is a massive domed building there, which is an exhibit hall and there was a nice collection of old photos of the city.

We all went out for sushi Brazilian style, which means with cream cheese in it. Notice the chop stick helpers for those of us not from Vancouver.

Paraty
From PG we headed to the coast road and north 314 km to Paraty (Parati). This is a scenic drive along the sea to this popular town.

The streets in the historic center have the worst deep and sharp cobbles ever, which are challenging at low speed if you get in traffic.

Walking around was much easier.

After this luckily it got better and then was ultimately graveled and smooth. After the construction zone it was bricked for a few km and then smooth silky asphalt.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
