Better Late The Never

Any trip from South Africa to Brazil starts with a very early flight to Johannesburg so I booked on the 6am flight to make my connection in Johannesburg at 9.30am

You would never think it takes over 10 hours from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo but it does and I am always undecided if I like day or night flights.

When landing in Sao Paulo I was interested to see the improvements they might have made to the airport for the World Cup. I did notice that the new terminal that was well behind scheduled looked finished but didn't seem to be being used but apart from that nothing had changed but some people did seem to know a little more English this time.

Sao Paulo can never be described as a nice city but a very cool city it certainly is and if you live in a city like Cape Town its pretty amazing to be in such a huge concrete jungle and I would definitely consider it one of Brazil's coolest city's.

Any visit to Sao Paulo is not complete without a night out in Villa Madalena and as its World Cup the normal Friday night street party had a real international flavor with lots of Football fans who had arrived early for there games or stayed a day longer to enjoy the Sao Paulo night life.

Something that is now part of the Fifa World Cup is the Fifa Official Fan Fest, These have developed a lot since Germany 2006 and are now like massive controlled areas with food stalls, souvenir stands and of course bars. The official Fan Fest in Sao Paulo is smack bang in the middle of down town Sao Bento which is very easy to get to by Metro.

Although I didn't make it for the start of the World Cup I was ok with that as England played in Belo Horizonte which is yet another cool under rated Brazilian city and only a comfortable 7 hour night bus journey away.
