A hard goodbye to our very nice and hospitality hostfamilies in Maringá. Drive from Maringá to Nova Londrina, our second station for the next two days. We met the people on a Verkehrsinsel (roundabaout). After the welcome and the first photos, we immediately went to the first factory, called COPAGRA, on this day. But first of all – eating, lunch in the cantine. It was a factory which produce alcool (etanol) out of sugar cane for cars using instead of petrol. Our next stop was Incomil, a factory which process manioc into starch. We were happy to have little rest and to calm down. Because in the evening the program goes the further. We visited a recovery center for people who been edicted to drugs. And then we presented us in the Rotary Club of Nova Londrina where we had our dinner as well. At the end we fast fall asleep. All the girls sleep together in a big house of an old woman who lives here by her own and she speaks only Portuguese. But we try our best for the communication. The boys sleep in a hotel – but very simple furnished, three matt resses and a wardrobe.

Visit of CESP (Companhia Energética de Sao Paulo), a 11 km long dam, where can be produced 1.540 MW with 14 Kaplan turbines, enough for 4 Mio. people. For the drive we passed three states of Brazil, from Paraná to Sao Paulo to Mato Grosso de Sul. Then we could see a seed production.
We had lunch in a fish restaurant.
The late afternoon we were taken to an amazing boat trip at Rio Paraná.
