After practice flights of some frozen Europeans on Cachoera Alte in the region of Espirito Santo during the past week the elite of the world paragliding meets in the small town Castelo finally. The first training day will start the first Paragliding World Cup competition of this year.

    Although the small town is not located by the shore of The Atlantic Ocean, its height above the sea level hardly reaches 100 metres and the afternoon temperature commonly outsteps 30°C.

    A transportation of pilots already stops under a hill and Petra Krausova can be delighted definitely. Except for absolutely necessary things she also brings with her an absolutely unnecessary virous infection to Brazil. Low clouds roll about the hill in a height of 950 meters and that's why nobody desires to go up. And what is more, a rain begins to fall. Today's training day is cancelled and the weather forecast for tomorrow doesn't look much better, unfortunately. Nothing remains but to have delicious dinner or drink the exotic Cajpirina at a local disco in moderation.
