New Years Eve Florianopolis
31/12/11 22:19 Filed in: Brazil | Florianapolis
Heavy rain all day today.
Stayed on board for most of the day.
View from the companionway.
Dinner at a packed Pizzeria Milano.
The rain continued. Oilies proved very useful.
Happy new year!
Fireworks phase one from barges offshore at BeiraMar. Stunning display to which the I-phone does not quite do justice. The rain eased off.
After about 25 minutes phase two started from the old bridge linking Santa Cartarina with the mainland.
Another 10 minutes culminating in a cascade of fire from the bridge. Much more spectacular than it looks here.
Then the rain set in again. Some Brazilians lingered dancing in the rain but most dispersed and headed home.
