“I was hoping to have real food…rice and beans”…yeah, you guys adhering the typical brazilian speech hahahaha

[BeautifulJesus-xo]

As a European living more than a year in Brasil ( moved permanently), Brasil service is usually amazing, buses great comfort, can always manage to get a snack, drink, it’s always convenient everywhere you go! Amazing people and vibes usually always…no place like Brasil folks🔥🇧🇷❤️

Sad to see you two leave Minas, but I'm happy you made it safe! Enjoy Rio <3

i like how in most american movies that portray south america the buses tend to be precarious always represented with animals or sick people inside being that in reality Brazil is known for having some of the most luxurious travel buses in the world (to make up for the lack of trains for long trips)

[teacher_fher]

From my experience in Brazil people usually (I'd almost dare to say 'always') wear their seatbelts on buses, at least when they travel between cities or states. I don't know if it happened with you guys but the driver usually says some things to the passengers before he starts the trip, and one of these things is asking everybody to put their seatbelts on because if the bus is stopped by the Federal Highway Police the fine for the bus company is pretty high for people not wearing seatbelts. And when you're literally in front of the glass (definitely the best seats) it's especially wise to follow this, lol. Also, you should know that generally highways in the northeast and north are considerably worse than in the southeast, so you should really do some research when you leave Rio to check if the roads you're gonna take are safe or if it's better to travel (at least between state capitals) by plane. Great vid as always, cheers!

Most cars in Brazil are "flex" fueled, using both gasoline or ethanol, you can select which one to use according to the best price at the gas station.
Notice that the cab you used at the arrival in Rio had a yellow tank installed in the trunk.  This is a gnv (compressed natural gas) tank installed during a modification to allow this option of fueling, since the gnv gas is cheaper than gasoline, diesel or ethanol.
Some vehicles have this installation made by the manufacturer but is quite common to have this option added by private companies when not offered originally.

Actually it’s not normal a delay on bus! I had travelled by bus several times in Brazil. I had only 2 bad experiences because the traffic due Easter holiday.

[sapoamassado]

estou achando incrivel a jornada de vcs pelo Brasil!!
se poderem, visitem o pantanal em Mato Grosso, tem umas paisagens incriveis!!

[joaomarcosjunqueira]

Ivana referring to rice and beans as "real food" is exactly what a brazilian would say in this situation. Her brazilian citizenship is ready, she just needs to pass by the embassy and grab her brazilian passport. Once you two get married you'll get yours, Steve haha

Nice video! I’ve been in Rio for one week Copacabana Impenima and Leblon. Cheers! 💃🏽👙🕺🏽

[dianegreig]

Safety Steve!! Bus looked nice, great seats! You both are so calm with all the chaos in Rio at bus station!! 10 stars. Keep safe, healthy and happy.

[Freitasmarcio]

Muito bom! Congrats... Brazil´s warm, beautiful and hospitable

[luisrechdan]

The diablo gameplay on the run! hahaha awesome man

[LoaRicardo]

Rodoviaria do Rio no fim de ano e no carnaval é caótico, muita gente indo pra lá

[smithjohnsonwilliams]

It is too late but if there is a next time, from Rio's rodoviária you could have taken the light rail (VLT) which is right there, either to Carioca or Cinelândia (downtown), then taken the subway either to Catete or Largo do Machado (you were like halfway between them, years ago I used to live right next to the place you stayed apparently, it may not look like it but that area is pretty safe). Also for NYE you could have walked all the way from Catete to Copacabana, it is tradition, you'd be accompanied by literally thousands of people doing the same, it is fun but more fun if you have a big group of people.

[Kolisher]

Playing Diablo II at Bus was a nice touch ahaha!

[registmb]

OMG I am working when I saw Steve pretending he's driving the bus I just laughed so loud, so funny 🤣🤣🤣

[taylor.london]

When I was in Rio I travelled to Sao Paulo by bus. I remember the it to be similar to a first class plane cabin

[karatecadepijama]

I've ridden buses all my life in Brazil and it was never late. You guys are in a bad luck mood.

[SantaClaus]

Best seats 💺. Front row 👌
I think it's a bus 🚌 driving rule to stop every 4h .
