Easter Saturday and a visit to Fazenda Dona Carolina. Impressive estate. In the 19th century, Dona Carolina, then 18 years old, left Portugal together with her 75 years old husband, and settled on this land. Started up a huge coffee plantation and later on her husband died. Now the property was all hers and she freed all the slaves while having an affair with one of them. That's the historical background in short.
We had a great day, tried different activities, ate a lot, went for a swim, visited the cachacaria and the chapel, tried their own coffee and finished with a foot massage. Reminded me of an adventure park for adults! Once we were home we crushed into bed.
