We had a nice send off from Ponta Grossa this morning, from our Witmarsum relatives. We took off this morning at 9:45 am, and flew 55 minutes to Blumenau. It was a very short and easy flight. There are more mountains here, so it was a little different flying so low through the mountains. When we spotted the airport, we flew quite low trying to find out what direction the wind was going, as we couldn´t find the windsock (we found out after we landed that there were two). So since we couldn`t find a windsock, we started looking for smoke, alas, there was none to be found. We chose to land on ´´36´´, and later found out that landing the other way, ´´18´´ is forbidden, good to know. We even started looking which way the cows were grazing, because they always graze into the wind. Some tips we learned from our friend Hans Wiebe. Thanks Hans!
So now we are staying at the Walls here in Blumenau, in their 12th floor apt, which has an amazing view of the city....it`s HOT here.
We can`t get pictures up without using our lap top, no wireless...so it may be awhile until you get to see pictures.
We will stay here 2 days and then fly on to Bage....`til then...
