We´ve had no internet connection for the past two days, hence the lack of first post but here it is! After a hellishly long plane journey from London to Florianopolis (three changes and some near catastrophes involving luggage, tight timing and general stressfulness) we were picked up by Gisele at the airport and she took us to the hostel we were staying at till today. It was a long drive away from the airport, next to a beach called Barra da Lagoa- absolutely stunning views, and incredibly chilled vibe. Even though there were many clouds in the sky, me and Caitlin managed to get pretty burnt (we´ve now learnt to never underestimate the power of UV, even if it´s raining...) and now we have both been laughed at quite a lot by Gisele cause our backs are pretty much lobster red.... Grrreat. But aside from that, Florianopolis was honestly a stunning place; there are lots of different sides and aspects to it, from the beautiful beaches to the built-up city areas that are built into incredible mountains and forests. I will upload photos at some point to show you what I mean. I loved everything about it, but stuff there was a little pricey (for Brazil)- for instance, I had to buy a s***ty phone battery and it cost me thirty quid! I realise that that doesn´t sound like much, but when travelling on a budget, costs like that are a b****. We´ve mainly been getting over our lethargy and chilling on the beach since Wednesday, so no excitement or gap yaaaahhh stories yet. We were meant to go to a beach party yesterday, but last night as we were about to go out a huge thunderstorm started so we decided to laow it: plenty of time for partying when Carnaval starts next Friday! Anyway we´ve driven to Laguna now, so I will continue updating when I can. Missing you all lots, Vick xxxxx
