Gramado

Well I am back... my computer has been out of action and I have actually developed a social life so I have been pretty busy!!

Last weekend as a long weekend so we went to Gramado in Rio Grande do Sol, the next state down. It is a very pretty, European town known for its chocolate and wine!

We went to a few chocolate factories and got lots of free samples!

We went on a wine tour, of which the first stop was a pot and pan outlet store. All theBrazilians seemed very excited to be there and took lots of photos!!

We finally got to a proper vineyard and had a tour of how it was made.

And then for the best part of the day, a wine tasting class!
There was also a wine festival going on where you could buy a glass and then a coupon for 6 tasting.
We also went to Canela and Parque do Caracol to walk down and back up the equivalent of of a set of stairs 40 stories high!


We then spent most of the time sitting in cafes, eating and drink the best hot chocolate ever!! It was hot milk, with cream on top and a bar of chocolate melting in the milk!
