Mrs.Garmin decided it was a long (300km) away but local knowledge said 3.5 hours and leaving at midday so we had to crack a pace.
We took the BR116 which seemed more like a truck race for the most of it, for us it was like a video game of weaving in and out of the masses and avoiding being hit
Staying safe we got to our turnoff which was a pleasant and instantly relaxing change in pace ...as we headed off towards the mountain my head and heart were alive again with the thoughts of being in a tranquil setting out of the rat race.
Our first mission was the twisty climb to the top some 20 km which was tighter sweeping bends to 1st gears jobs.
Visconde De Mauá, don't blink or you will miss it, today is the 24th September which means that tomorrow on the 25th I get olda and hit 48, that aside we found our self a home for two nights in a nice Pousada.
