THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL

The wonderful hospitality continues in Brazil. we have a whirlwind tour of orchards throughout the  Valdena region. One of the most staggering sights is of the 2657Ha Schiu orchards and a tour of one of their pack houses. The final orchard of the day is difficult to see as the sun has already set. In the headlights on the way out of the orchard I thought I saw a dog but a native also spots it and say's it's a giant rat.  Weighing in at 150Kg, the Capybara used to be quite common in this part of Brazil but for some reason numbers have declined.

We retire for another wild barbeque. I can't help but wonder, is that really a pig on the spit or something else...??
