Tonight is our last night in the lovely Paraty. It`s a really quiet coastal town on Costa Verde in between Rio and Sau Paulo.

We´ve had a great time relaxing in the lovely weather (finally!) as well as sliding down waterfalls, attending a free jazz festival, going on boat trips to secluded islands and visiting the neighbouring town of Trindade...its a tough life!

What´s made the time here even more surreal is that practically the first face I saw at the hostel was actually a girl I knew from halls... such a small world!

Tomorrow we´ll be on a 30 hour bus journey to Iguazu Falls (great!) but get a couple of hours stopover in Sau Paulo so will be interesting to see it... we´ve heard mixed reviews.

Will write from Iguazu x
