We arrived in Florianapolis in the morning and got to the bus station before realising the hostel we booked wasnt in the area we had planned to stay so a guy who Im not too sure what his role was found us a great hostel...Lagoa hostel which was one of the best we have stayed in with a pool, great games, bar and atmosphere! The first day we got a bus to the beach, the area we stayed was so nice it was like a holiday resort area! Florianapolis is a really beautiful place with amazing beaches and a great nightlife!! This beach was really nice...a surfers beach so we had to stay out of some parts of the water because the current was so strong! On the way back from the beach the traffic was actually not moving so we started walking up and down mountains which was quite an adventure and stopped at this bar with these guys playing reggae music which was awesome!
That night we had a bbq at the hostel and drinks and then all went out to bars...had a not so great tequilla experience as a guy walks around with a sombrero and if he dares to catch your eye hes singing getting the whole bar clapping pulling a chair as a circle is formed pours so much salt in your mouth followed by two different forms of tequilla and grabs your head and spins it around pushes a lemon in your mouth and pushes you off the chair!! I am not a fan of tequilla and when I said that to try and stop him he replied...but I LOVE tequilla!! Was quite a funny experience and provided some classic photos!!
The next day we went to a pool party called P12 which we had heard a lot about...a huge club with a massive pool, bar, music on the beach...it was like something from the OC!! The people were beautiful, yet slightly pretentious but it was really fun! We got dropped off at 2 and were being picked up at 11 so by 7 we were quite hungry and decided to order food..we waited 40 minutes for them to take our order and an hour for the food to come...but all of a sudden this guy pointed to the sky and a black rain cloud was powering our way...the winds started to pick up and within a minute this hurricane slash thunderstorm hit, asent our food flying umbrellas were being blown out and flying at people and chairs...we got up and ran for shelter with everyone elsebut the winds were so strong and the rain hurt a lot...our stuff was all outside so I lost my towel it was horrenfous and so scary...glass smashing everywhere...we literally thought we were going to die! But a scary as it was we live to tell the tale and within half an hour they turned all of the lights and music on and people swarmed out and started partying...we thought if you cant beat them, join them...so was a very strange but good experience with a good story!
The next day we chilled at the hostel and that night head for a bus to iguassu falls which was another 14 hour journey!! But overall I really loved Florianapolis...definatelty a great place to go I just wish we had longer!
