Woke up to leaving ilha grande- would of like to stay one more day but due to Easter I have booked accommodation on Paraty already!
Caught the boat back with hjalmar and the cramped bus onto Paraty! Just a travel day so really unexciting. Staying in different hostels hjalmar and I parted ways.
Spent of time walking around the old town and it is really beautiful but I think I will spend a bit longer tomorrow wandering around taking pictures!
Went back to the hostel and met a group of girls and we went out for dinner. My best food yet in brazil! Some kind of fish with bananas and rice, was very tasty. Just before our good came out the town had a power cut so we ended up eating by candle light!
After dinner we went for a walk and everything was quite buzzy as the thursday before Easter there is a parade of lights from the church! Whilst waiting for this we had some beers and book a trip island hoping for tomorrow! Went back and a bit after midnight lots of people came out of the church with what looked like burning bamboo sticks! Then a man with a cross came out and there was singing followed by Jesus! Everyone then followed them down the street with the burning bamboo and we went home! Not before bumping into a friend from ilha grande who we will meet tomorrow fir a drink!

Alan Smith What hostel did you stay? I was last week in Parati and stayed in Geko hostel (front of Pontal beach). We had a great trip.
