21 May 2010, Sao Luis (Maranhao, Brasil)
Sao Luis has a famous historical colonial centre, declared a UN World Heritage site. We decide to stay within the historical centre rather than in the more modern part of the city. Which means, very much like was the case in Salvador do Bahia, that we are in the middle of all the historical buildings but lacking all modern city comforts, like good convenience stores or good places to stay. We stay in a charming little hotel which is inside an old colonial building (we wonder if the a/c is also from colonial times as it hardly cools the room; it is 40 degrees outside and 90 percent humidity).
Despite the heat, we enjoy the charms of the colonial town, and join the locals for a refreshing drink at one of the many outdoor cafes.
