Well the travelling part of our trip has certainly begun now!! Ilha Grande to Iguassu Falls, via Paraty & Sao Paulo took 46hrs in total. After arriving at the port we wanted to head straight to Sao Paulo to catch the over night sleeper bus to the falls...but things never go to plan!! We had to go via Paraty and by the time we arrived we'd missed our connection... over night here it is!! So with Pierre (Swedish guy from our dorm in Ilha Grande) we headed to Informações turísticas to book our bed for the night. Glad we got to experience Paraty as its a small quaint fishing villiage with lovely cobbled narrow streets that remind me of Italy. Finally I got to cook vegetables from a proper supermarket (could't cope with noodles or pasta for another night!). When we were checking out of our hostel, they didn't except card payment, the only ATM in the village wasn't working and we didn't have enough cash on us. After a few phone calls back and forth we were told to go back to Tourist Information to pay with card. We were given no receipt so hopefully the money found its way back to the hostel, well the police wasn't waiting for us in Sao Paulo so assuming it did. Must say the long haul coaches are pretty comfortable, more room than any aeroplane. So after 18hrs we should be well rested for two days visiting the Falls. Tchau for now x
