O Grande Pino De Boliche, Curitibanos, Santa Catarina, Brasil

He gets knocked down, but he gets up again
You’re never gonna keep him down!

The Brasileiros are gutter-ly in love with Big Things, and this striking stud was right up my alley. In fact, I was totally bowled over by this perky pinhead!

The four-metre-tall Tenpin lives outside the delightful Boliche Beer House in Curitibanos, Santa Catarina, where cerveja and sensational service flow freely. To a stirring soundtrack of funk carioca favourites, I enjoyed two games of bowling for a very reasonable price, and found the pão de queijo to be absolutely scrumptious. Yes, I was cheesed by the food!

Curitibanos is a sleepy regional city that’s never going to rival Rio de Janeiro as a tourist destination, but is worth visiting to experience everyday life in southern Brasil. But who am I kidding, the highlight for me was meeting this bright white delight!

It was a frame I couldn’t spend more time with this in-ten-se individual and I was bowling my eyes out when I had to leave. Honestly, though, I’ll spare you the details 🎳🎳🎳

Alright, alright, I promise I won’t make any more lane jokes, so it’s time for me to split!
