Trucks, trucks and more trucks…
We decided to drive the 670 km from Jatai to Cuiaba … we
figured that the roads would be bare on a Sunday…not so! There were many large trucks…with the the odd VW
Gol sandwiched in between them.
It became apparent the need for Brazil to
quickly improve its road structure and build larger highways. It would be a great investment…create
thousands of jobs and improve the movement of people and goods. Again, the road pavement was good, but when
sharing the road with thousands of large trucks and having to slow down for all
the speed bumps, it kills the moving average speed.
The scenery became more dramatic and beautiful as we
approached Cuiaba …and it also became hotter.
The kids have been getting along surprising well, no major
complaints, no major issues…we just need to keep them watered and feed! Having
food in the truck seems to keep the mood up…also Marnie music selection is also
a good morale boost.
We pulled into Cuiaba before sun set and found a great hotel
with a pool, cold beer and WiFi! We all went for a great dinner and enjoyed our
time outside the truck.
Wow, reading your comments and seeing the pictures(x3)made my heart flip..it is really happening! I loved them, and will be more prepared for the next ones, so keep them coming.
