From October 7 till 21, the travelling car ist going from Brasília to Curitiba, Foz de Iguacu and Bonito. 2nd Day: Catalão – Ribeirão Preto – Aguas de Lindoia – 680 km From Catalão, we drove more to the South on very good highways (Pedagio is charged); traffic was moderate. At the division of Goias and Minas Gerais we crossed the Rio Paranaiba. We passed Uberlandia and Uberaba, a region of intensive soja and sugar cane production. It was amazing to realize that fields with ripe sugar cane were side-by-side to fields with young small plants, which means that cultivation is done pemanently i.e. independantly of season and climate. After 5 hours we reached Ribeirão Preto where we had a drink in the famous “Pinguim Bar” (since 1936) located beside the “Theatro Pedro II” at the Praça 15 de Novembro. We made it till Aguas de Lindoia, a charming place with hot springs, frequented by the people of São Paulo for a weekend rest. Tomorrow we shall take some day-light fotos to show to you. Good night. llllllll
From October 7 till 21, the travelling car is going from Brasília to Curitiba, Foz de Iguaçu and Bonito. 1st Day: Brasília (DF) – Catalão (GO), 320 km After a 4-hours-drive on a mostly very well condicioned road, we arrived in Tres Rancho. This small village is located 30 km from Catalão, at the shore of the Barragem de Emborcação, an immense barrier lake of the Rio Sao Miguel. General leisure and fishing attract both nearby-citizens and tourists. The fish restaurants and a wonderful sunset make you feel like being on holiday. As local government elections had been held today, October 7, citizens of Catalão celebrated the election victory of the PSDB over the PMDP which ruled for the last 4 mandates. The immense, never-ending car parade was accompanied by earsplitting “music” (mostly monotone bass noise) and lasted till midnight. Catalão is a fast growing town with the main industries being the production of phosphate and lingerie and car assembling (Mitsubishi). The town attracts tourists every year, end of September till mid-October during the season of the “Congadas“: a festival in honour of the ransomed slaves and N.S. do Rosário. This year, the festival will take place from October 12 – 14. For your accomodation in Catalão, we recommend the “Mara Hotel“, situated in the centre of the city and offering free parking (closed yard) and a very good breakfast buffet. Ask for

Dear friends, enthusiastics about travelling through Brazil – this is the most recent and fancy project of HOM-ing: We proudly announce that – starting by September 1, – we are in the condition to offer a FIAT Palio Weekend Adventure for private tourism purposes. By using HOM-ing’s „Travelling Car“ you will take advantage of – travelling more frequently – knowing more remote places – economizing travel expenses – combining air and land transport – avoiding the same tract in both directions of your journey – travelling accompanied by like-minded people And this is how it works: chose one of the following two options: 1. Whenever HOM-ing or a CLUB-Member is planning a trip with the „Travelling Car“, vacancies are offered to other interested persons: all travellers will share the real costs among themselves. 2. the „Travelling Car“ may be booked exclusively by CLUB-Members for a limited time. The route and the point of delivery at the end of a journey will be agreed upon as to HOM-ing’s necessities on the one hand, and the demand by other CLUB-Members on the other hand. We will use facebook/HOMing as a mean of communication and post details about the disposal of the „Travelling Car“, such as: location for the receipt / delivery of the car and periods / vacancies available. – Stay connected with HOM-ing and keep yourself informed about our offers!
