Santos (São Paulo) and Porto Belo, Brasil
We stay on the ship in Santos near São Paulo, and the next day enjoy quiet Porto Belo.
Yesterday we were in port in Santos which is about 80 miles from São Paulo, a city of only 18 million people. It was a very industrial port.
We decided to stay on the ship and get caught up with some to-do items that needed attention.
It was a beautiful sunset as we pulled out of the port in the evening. Mitzi was on facetime with Benson as we sailed out.
Today we tendered in Porto Belo, Brasil. That was the longest tender I think we've ever done. It probably took 20 minutes to get to shore.
We enjoyed some shopping and a nice meal in the quaint town.
That Guaraná was refreshing! It was a hot day and quite humid.
We dipped our feet in the water before heading back to the ship.
When our room got cleaned this evening we had our Oceania Club hats on the bed. We've earned Gold status! We really do love Oceania, it's perfect in every way.
Mitzi was funny. I've been wearing my white Oceania world cruise hat we got on our first day on the ship.
She thought it was something special I got and she didn't.
I said, "I know for a fact you got one too. It's around here somewhere!"
A few minutes later I found it up in the cupboard right where she put it our first day on the ship 😁
