Carneval in Diamantina

Carrrrnewow!

So, first of all, I didn`t stay in any of the famous places like Rio, Salvador or even Olinda. Instead I ended up in Diamantina with a group of crazy Germans. It was lots of fun and a new experience. Diamantina is a small historic miner`s city, very beautiful but normally rather unexciting. This however changes when its time for carvenal! Most of the local croud get out of the city, make sure they don`t leave anything in their flats so that they can rent them to plenty, plenty of mostly young Brazilians who are coming to town to party almost straight for five days... It`s a crazy, chaotic mess that starts in your room (7 people in one little room), grows in the flat (one bathroom for 25 people, no real kitchen, only beer, chachaca and caipirinha to drink) and expands to the streets, other apartments and whereever the wave of madness takes you!
