hello everyone! we have just got back from Ilha Grande and are now in Parati!
We had a great time on the island....nice chilled out little place, was great to go and relax after spending carnaval in Rio! We were pretty lucky as we had Nick and Anj with us, so they led the way and helped with the bags! we were pretty lucky with our timings with the bus and boat too which was good, and helped things go smoothly! although when we got there we had no accomodation booked so the boys left us with the basg and some beers and headed off...returned with a place that we were sure to love - a camp site! although it wasnt too bad as the tent was already set up and we had a matress, it was just that we had to walk pretty far into the forest to get there! woke up in a sweaty mess and with bugs all about...so decided to look for a hostel. it was only 3 quid more for a hostel so we thought wed splash out and get a fan and an actual bed!
went for a 7k trek, as we like to call it to Lopes Mendes beach which was bloody hard work, but was worth it at the end...and the boys did carry our bags so we had it pretty easy! however we did walk through the rainforest in flip flops which wasnt such a good idea...saw a few BIG spiders - gina you would have loved it! Then just chillled out at the beach and spent a lot of time cooling down in the sea after the VERY hot walk! we decided to get the boat back to the main town as we were knackered!
Spent most of the evenings playing El Presidente with a few cervejas which was good fun! then headed down to the beach for some food, master burger was a fave! and then to the pier for some chill out time and a few more beers! there was an amazing ice cream shop where you pick what you want and then they weigh it...was great! lissie even got it for free and got some more money back as the woman cant count! always a bonus!
overall, was a good few days chilling at the beach! Lissie has now got a bit burnt, so weve whipped out the savlon! Seeexy! The A team has now split..bad times...me and lissie are now in Parati for a few days....
