In Brazil

Wow, that was a long journey. I started from Jerusalem 02.45 in the morning with a shuttle bus to the airport outside Tel Aviv. Then a flight at 06.30 to Madrid. From there, another grueling 10+ hour flight to Rio de Janeiro. From here, I took a night bus together with a bunch of British paragliders to Governador Valadares, arriving around 8-8.30 in the morning local time (12-12.30 Jerusalem time). Phew.

But now I am here! Why? To write a story about the paragliding here, and to attend a course in cross country flying, where you take off from a mountain and try to fly as far as you can.

Today, the weather was not cooperative, and we were all tired after the journey, so no flying.
