Ilha grande was a nice little beach retreat for me :)
Unfortunately I didn't get to see anything, except the beautiful view from the beach and treated myself to double helpings of mint choc chip ice cream :)
When I arrived I was transferred to another hostel as mine was being refurbished, I lucked out big time!! I'd gone from being booked into a 12 bed dorm to a private double bed with ensuite for no extra charge, plus a nice fresh towel folded on the bed waiting for me.
I bumped into the American family again on the beach and they invited me for dinner and treated me to an oriental shrimp dish, which was very yummy! Mum you would've loved it :)
This morning I chilled out on the beach whilst waiting for my boat transfer to Rio... One more night in South America!!
Ooo an interesting thing about Ilha Grande, there are no motorised vehicles, so you constantly see man pulling these wheel barrow type trolleys across the beach, as anything that anyone needs, has to come off the boats, so these guys are like couriers. Drink, food parcels, mattresses, planks of wood... Anything and everything went by!
