I do not want to say that here it rains every day, meanwhile, the weather is quite dry too, but the first photos are gray and while getting out of the car something is dripping in between the collar.
Highway BR-101 between Curitiba and Sao Paulo. At first glance it seems as wide as the Tallinn-Tartu road, but it is a two-way road, the other direction is far behind the mountain and the forest. Rainforest. BR-101 runs near the coast and is nearly 4,800 miles long.
You keep driving on and on, but when to look at the map it seems as if you have hardly moved. And after all - you don`t drive all the time.

The roads are well marked, at least bigger roads.
There are also stalls by the road, you stop the car and get two-three pounds of bananas for 2 Rials. The stalls are usually before or after the settlements, and there are 3-4-5 of them, a hundred meters apart. So noticing the first one you consider - to buy or not - and at the third stall you make a stop to buy some.
At least it is local product, the majority grows here by the road. The roadside infrastructure is generally decent. There are enough gas-stations, and most of them offer opportunities to eat and take care of the car. Beginning with tire repairs and up to more complicated electric works. And they are safe places to stay overnight.
An example. Just the next morning. Last night it was getting darker, and since I could not find any information about camping sites or caravan parks in Sao Paolo, I spent the night in a gas-station by the great road.

A typical town scene – while waiting for green traffic lights there is another juggler on the road, this time with an one-wheel bike. Respect.
Continued. I made the long post into two parts again, otherwise it would have remained to wait for the upload forever.
