Joao Pessoa

The nearby city of Joao Pessoa is easy to visit via a 30 min train journey at the cost of 25cents (2 people). Great for shopping and weigh your plate lunch. We tried to source products, 'Made in Brazil, goods such as cotton sheets, cutlery, shoes, clothing as imported goods carry a high tax. 

One day we visited the Zoo, near the city Centre. It was not commercial at all and we got to see some southern continent animals that we wouldn't have seen, as well as animals from all over the world. We are not fans of Zoos generally however our entry ticket probably helped to feed some of the animals.
