Rua Marechal Deodoro 519 Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Back on the ferry, a bus and here we are in Paraty. Nice place. Cobbled roads, cars, bikes and not a traffic light in sight!! e were only gonna stay 1 night but booked the extra. The hostel had double booked so they put us in a b&b. Nice. I was passed out by 8pm after our crazy week and a bit of drinking every night and I slept a full 11 hours. I obviously needed it cos I´m getting old. Today we did this tour and thinking about it now - was hilarious. It was a jeep tour and we were the on...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ainekerriganVoor iedereen die niet heeft kunnen slapen, zal ik maar met het goede nieuws in huis vallen: the duck has returned to the nest: hij was met de volgende vlucht uit Madrid gekomen, was dus om 5:00 am op het vliegveld en een kleine 13 uur later werd hij bij ons in het hotel afgeleverd, keurig verpakt in het plastic, inpak papier, grote rode strik erom heen en een lief kaartje eraan. Aangezien wij niet echt zin hadden om op de tas te wachten, besloten wij Sampa (Sao Paulo) te gaan verkennen. De e...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil heinlisenkaWOW! Wat is dit vet zeg! Gisteren was echt zo'n wrede dag, we waren gewoon jaloers op onszelf. Vandaar dat we vandaag precies dezelfde tour nog een keer gedaan hebben. Maar eh..., laten we bij het begin beginnen. Paraty is een stadje vanwaar uit je naar zo'n 50 verschillende bounty eilanden kunt varen. De een nog mooier dan de ander. Dus Mac en Maris, na Florida misschien Brazilie een idee voor de volgende Ik-ben-zo-blij-dat-ik-bij-de-Tros-famil ie-hoor vakantie? Wij besloten in plaats van ee...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil heinlisenkaOi! (no I´m not being rude, it´s Portugese for hello) First stop Rio...and welcome to the world of shared dorm hostels. Where share all and bare all are the name of the game. Not to mention the constant smell of wee, nothing new there for one they used to call Pee Pants... So 4 days in Rio, mostly with Lisa (hi Lisa), whom I met on the plane and not the only person I would bump into from the Tuesday flight... Rio is fab, probably amazing for Carneval and I´ll be back to let you know. The bod...
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil swatsonWe got the 6 hour bus from Sao Paulo to Paraty on the Green Coast. We stayed at the Paraty Bed and Breakfast which was great, best of all owned by a Norwich fan! The town of Paraty is a Unesco hertiage site as the old buildings built by the Portuguese are still there in the Historic centre. By a stroke of luck there was a festival on for Pentecost or something, the Espiritu Santo festival. A huge stage had been built in the historic centre and bands were on every night for 8 days. Food stalls...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil warty007 Spent our last few days in Rio generally lazing about on the beaches and making the most of the clear blue skies. We headed down the coast again for a day to avoid the crowds, really nice empty beaches and massive waves again - can't really get bored of that! Had an all you can eat seafood dinner before returning to the hotel, which was really nice at the time but not so good the morning after......
Had a great 2 weeks in Rio, definitely somewhere we'd return to in the future, there's ...

... been like when it was in service. There was even an extremely toxic air pocket inside of the cargo hold, so we were able to "surface" about 40ft underwater! We spent the rest of the dive exploring around the starboard side and top of the boat, where the visibility was near perfect and where there were some fish swimming around. I hovered for a while in the blasthole and just pictured what actually occurred on that fateful day in 1967. I love diving wrecks and look ...
Ilha Grande, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil chiapoe... food and the Amazon river had its own smell as well, it was enough to make you?????, sorry but you guy´s wanted graphic, its as raw as it gets.

Sorry for being so negative ...
Paraty, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil nic.lachapelle... my medical diagnosis was obesity and I smiled pleasantly as I continued onwards. I walked for about 4 hours spotting a vast taxon of bright and multi-coloured critters and also saw some wild monkeys which was was really particularly exciting as nobody was round to disturb them but me deep in the jungle. That night I had my final dinner before I departed for Paraty. Debs ended having to sleep in our room as Rebbecca had dubiously lost her keys. Debs had already made two ...
Ilha Grande, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil gazanova... BBQ stopped working, so we had to bring it on board the boat whilst we huddled together in the tiny space where there was one dry patch. The Caipirinhas were still being consumed, probably more so now and I think by this point we had gone through 4 bottles of rum! So despite the weather and severe lack of organisation, we were still having fun and me, Jess and Nicci even managed to choreograph a synchronized swimming routine greeted by rapturous applause and one that ...
