Hello everyone!
Brazil has been a much more relaxed pace - lots of sand and sun!
Paraty is a small beach town with a very cool colonial feel - the cobbled streets are so uneven it makes it difficult to walk! Our first day we went on a boat tour of the surrounding bay and islands, stopping to swim, with lunch and unlimited caipirinhas on board. Was a great day and we felt sunned and relaxed!
This was only a short stop, two nights but only one day. So we were off to Ilha Grande, the 'big island' by ferry. It is an island probably the size of great barrier, with no cars and covered in rainforest - a beachy, hippy paradise. We explored the island by foot, seeing beautiful beaches such as Lopez Mendez. But then it started raining. Unfortunately the forecast isn't great for the rest of our trip, but we will make the most of it! We persevered, going for a walk through the bush to a wee waterfall, and seeing a family of monkeys in the wild, which was pretty cool.
Now Rio!
