Hello!

Just a quick entry before we head out.

We have been on the beach today about 15 miles from Paraty where we are staying. The beach was in a little cove - very secluded. There were not that many people there as it is out of season, however the weather was still very warm (about 23 degrees ish). We caught the bus from where we are staying and it was only about one pound which was a bit of a bargain!

When we got back from the beach we went into the centre of Paraty where there are lots of little shops along cobbled streets. We had our first ice cream of the whole trip, which was very tasty!

Now we are at the hotel having a drink, before we head out at 7.30pm for a meal at a restaurant where they have live music. We are going with the rest of our tour group.

Tomorrow it´s a 4 and a half hour bus ride to Rio which is our last destination with the tour group. A lot of the group are staying in Rio for a few days like us, so we may stick with them for a while and see all the sights.

Hope you´ve all had good days. The computer won´t let us add our photos here so hopefully at the next hotel we will be able to.

Lots of love
