Ouro Preto

The colonial city has many steep cobblestone hills

the city is surrounded by greenery and mountains

And lots of churches

Sao Paulo to Ouro Preto

Bus Company Util 125R 12 hours. I left at 10:50AM and arrived at 11pm at the bus station.  They said they had internet but it wasnt working. 

Ouro Preto (means black gold)

I stayed one night at Hostel Sonrisa do Lagarto for 30R but it had not internet so I moved to Brumas Hostel which is even more centrally located but costs 42R for a dorm room.  Ouro Preto is really nice city and the weather is nice and cool compared to the Northeast of Brazil.
