The final stop has arrived! And possibly the best one of the lot! Again i had to endure the boat from Ilha Grande, but it wasnt that bad this time- partly because i think i overdosed on sickness tablets! Ha! Rio is beautiful! The beaches are amazing!! And the sea isnt as cold as Ilha Grande and Parati so it much better to go in! :-) But the waves are HUGE, Tom point blank refuses to go in.. All because of one bad experience in Cape Verde! Haha! So i will tr...

Well first, first impressions of Ilha Grande are to stay on my feet and not vomit! The boat ride over here was HORRIFIC! I forgot how sea sick i could get and any dreams of owning a boat one day firmly gone after this hurrendous two hour journey! The worst bit was- other than making the HUGE mistake and going underneath the boat into the warm room- made me actually nearly throw up right there!- the tires on the side of the boat! They splashed water into each side...

Well after a short two hour flight from Recife in the RAIN! Perfect day to travel!! Chance for the sunburn to subside and im not missing the tanage time or travelling in ridiculous heat!! Couldnt have been happier! Wasnt too impressed when we landed in rain in Salvador too though.. Thats not suppose to happen! Ha! But anyway we did and then had to wait around for the bus as always, got caught in a rainstorm and because we'd missed breakfast and not had lunch i ...

After a three hour flight, waiting around for two hours and then a one and half hour bus journey in the coldest bus EVER, we were finally at the Porto de Galinhas! Or should i say the BEACH! Yay! We booked the flights and i have literally counted down from June 24th for this day! HEAVEN! Sun, sea, sand... Amazeballs! Porto de Galinhas has been voted Brazils best beach 12 times! And i can see why! It has these tide pools that when the tide is low you can catch...
