This time I had to fly using BA and TAM. Got a midday flight from Heathrow to Guarulhos with BA and as usual it was delayed for 2 hours on the runaway (11:30 to 13:30)! Arrives in Guarulhos around 11:30. My flight to porto alegre was around 7am and the travel agent said BA would organise a hotel but when I got top the BA office (small office behind the international check-in) they said it was not organised so I got back to the TAM desk and after an hour managed to changed my flight to 4:30 am and got to Porto Alegre around 6am and home by 7am!
This time I spent 1 week in Santo Amaro, SC, doing a paragliding course. Did not mange to finish the course because of win conditions, had 2 days of bad weather where I could not fly! Well, will finish it off at home!
The rest of the time I spent at home. Managed to go and see the beaches, from Osório, Tramandaí, Cidreirara to Torres and end up in Passo Fundo on a day long drive with my friend Leandro.
The flight back was more eventful. The flight with TAM at 8pm was delayed till 23:30! I got there 3 hours before just in case! There where 3 of us from that flight that would get the BA flight to Heathrow. When we got to Guarulhos the BA desk just closed so we waited till 6am until they opened and the local manager, the first to get in, was very helpful and booked us in the next flight in the evening as there was no flight in the morning on that day. We also got a hotel arranged back in the TAM check in desk then we finally managed to get a bit of sleep. We arrived in the morning with no problems and home around 3pm finally a day later!
