Just Desserts


Pictured is the odd looking peak that overlooks Abrao. It reminds me of the once volcanic plugs of the Glasshouse Mountains north of Brisbane (QLD, Australia).
After such a big day of exercise we were tired & very hungry. We got a quick meal at a place around the corner from the hotel. We figured that with all the exercise we were entitled to raid a desert cart. Desert carts are a Brazilian thing. They load up a small cart (usually attached to a half bicycle) with cakes & a seemingly endless array of deserts. The vendors park themselves somewhere prominent & do a roaring trade. I was still hungry after that & hit the ice cream shop. We hadn't gone near the scarce ice cream opportunities available during the trip because of the digestional risks involved with dairy in Peru & Bolivia. It was good ice cream too!
It took no time to fall asleep after such a big day.
