Time warp
Yesterday, we ventured onto the mainland for the first time since arriving here and visited Santo Amaro da Imperatriz. This is an area of hot springs about 35 kms south west of Florianopolis in the middle of the mountains.

We went there from time to time when we lived here 30 years ago and it hasn't changed at all. It felt like a really old-fashioned place 30 years ago and still does. This entrance hall to the hotel says it all!

I have put some information about the area in the Links section of my website. The surrounding mountains and vegetation are very impressive.
