We successfully arrived on Ilha Grande on Wednesday after a really choppy boat ride with a fisherman where we got soaked. We orginally intended to leave on Friday but ended up staying until Tuesday cos we just couldn´t bring ourselves to leave , we had such good fun. There are no cars on the island and it is just full of beautiful mountains and beaches. As soon as we arrived we bumped into 4 Australian guys that we have shared a hostel with in Rio and we eneded up spending most of our time with them. The highlight of the stay in Ilha Grande was Friday night which was the Brazilian bank holiday. The six of us decided to trek through the mountains to a Reggae party on another beach. We went with a local we named "jungle boy" who told us it was a 15 min walk...it turned out to be about 1 hour 15 in the pitch black with just torches and we had such a good time and party and it was too dark and dangerous to go home that we ended up sleeping in a tent with no sleeping bags or anything... it was madness, and the hike back the next morning was so funny but much easier in the light. Another really good thing we did was a canoe trip at night where there were 2 canoes joined together and about 6 people to a canoe...we took our beers and headed to a little island where we had a little party! Marvelous fun... We now move on to Foz to visit the waterfalls....
