Last Day
A reasonably early start saw me get the ferry across to Point Zero and then catch a bus out to shopping Recife and the supermarket Bon Precio to stock up for the trip to Rio.
By the time I got back to the boat it was very very hot and in the rush to get everything stowed out of the heat I dropped one bag of shopping in the river. It was retrieved with no damage to the contents. Thank goodness for plastic wrapping.
At nightfall the boat was ready for sea. Later at 21:30 I caught a taxi to Chevrolet hall to see Julio.
This was a huge venue where the audience sat at tables of four and were served food and drink until show time. Julio came on at about 22:30 and did his thing for till around 00:30. It was a very professional performance much appreciated by the mainly female audience but I thought it lacked energy. Probably not surprising since he is getting on a bit
The show also included an excellent tango couple.
I thought the doo-wah girls were quite superb.
There were plenty of taxis after the show and after yet another late night trip through Recife running red lights I was back on board by about 01:30.
