The Waltons On Tour
We got our first long-distance bus from Rio to Angra dos Reis, then caught a boat to Ilha Grande. And what a boat it was! A cross between an old fishing boat and a passenger boat, we lay on the deck while sailing past tropical islands and mountain peaks. We didn?t really know what to expect of the island but all our ideas of the place were exceeded and more! It was like a perfect paradise that didn?t seem real. We stayed in an artist?s pousada with our own room and hammock, it was pure bliss. When we first arrived we didn?t have anywhere booked and this guy took us to the pousada. After that whenever we needed something he appeared from no-where to help. We were wondering by the harbour thinking we should find a boat to take us to the beach and he was there with a friend who had a boat! This happened a lot - he was like our tour guide, host and mind-reader on one! What really struck us was how incredibly hospitable everyone on the island is. They really do go out of their way to help you and are fully prepared to share their bit of paradise with everyone.
