DAY 14, LEG 68 - Palmas to Brasilia
Having quickly refuelled in Palmas, it was time to depart to Brazil's capital city, Brasilia. The building of Brasilia began in 1956 and it officially became the capital city in 1960. It was purpose built as Brazil's new capital to move the centre of power away from the crowded Atlantic coast. The international airport is the third busiest in Brazil and serves mostly domestic destinations with a few international connections to the USA and Portugal. Thanks to the nice weather we can cruise a little lower than usual for this short leg and stay out of the headwinds that caused us to stop for fuel in the first place.
