Trindade!
We have found PARADISE!!!! Trindade is an old smugglers port 25 km south from Paraty, and we cannot belive how lucky we are to have found this place! Its only two hostels here, so hardly any backpackers around:) The many beaches here are amazing and the whole vibe of the town is so relaxed and chilled out. Unluckily we had rain the first days we were here, but it always stopps in the middle of the day so we can get some hours on the beach.
Our hostel in Trondade is Kaissara which is run by an ex backpacker and tourguide from England who knows excactly what backpackers like us are looking for :) The first evening he took us to some really nice waterfalls and a natural "funpark" featuring caves underneath waterfalls, the stone that swallows, slides and more :) It was really fun. In the evening we went down to one of the many beach bars and we wathed live reggae music and breathed in a lot of marihuana smoke...hehe!
We have spent 4 nights here in Trindade, including Marias birthday which was celebrated with a party at the hostel with lots of good drinks! We have met some really cool people here, including Fred from France who is the funniest frenchman I have ever met!!!!! His many comments have made us laugh until we almost cried many times! We also met some danish people, inlcuding Sanna and Morten and Dennis and his girlfriend (which I do not remember the name of now- BUT who got unplanned pregnant during the first month of their 4 month travel!!!Guess they are at home now preparing for the baby, all the best to them:) ). The most beutiful beach has definitely been Brava Beach which took us 45 minutes to hike to, and the last part was downhill in very slippery mud. But it was absolute worth it, almost no people were there, just us and some surfers! And finally the reain cleared and gave us blue skies and happiness! Weeheee!
Next stop- Rio de Janeiro!!!!!!
