On Sunday morning there was a guide, but no car. We took a walk around the grounds at REGUA, but that didn't yield much. At 4 p. m. , we left for Rio de Janeiro airport. The airport is very large, but the care for disabled passengers is excellently organized: you receive personal assistance from the check-in counter to the aircraft door.
