Buzios - Bundoran of Brazil
... nbsp; Arrived in Buzios around half 12 and headed straight for the Pousada (Guest House). Guidebook said that Buzios is the St. Tropez of Brazil, but on first impressions it looked like Bundoran on a sunny day without the Waterworld. But as we ...

Búzios!
... trip to Búzios! We went with our friends, Claudinha, Julianna and Bernardo. The drive was very long. The roads in Brazil are very bumpy. Every five seconds there would be a bump and I would hit the ceiling of the car. The ...
Getting out of Rio 4X4 style
So wonderful to travel outside of Rio. We went on a full day excursion north of Rio, encountering waterfalls, sand dunes, lunch on the beach and the highlight getting stuck in who knows where with our web designer, come four wheel driver, who had no ...
My Tatoo!
Today I got a tatoo! Here's the story. We were at the beach and having fun and I was sitting out trying to dry off. A man who does tatoos, not permanent ones, came by and Gabriel decided to get one. The man has a little bottle of ...
Burning the Last Year of My Twenties

Chic Resort
Headed for a few days to the beach resort of Buzios, a couple of hours east of Rio. It was made famous through the stay of Brigitte Bardot in the 1960's but has since been a popular hang-out for other famous people, such as Mick Jagger. The weather wasn't ...

Taking it easy

Last days in Brazil...
Booked a 5 night package to the seaside resort of Buzios - they call this the St Tropez of Brazil - and its claim to fame is that it changed from a simple fishing village to now after Brigitte Bardot came here with her then Brazilian boyfriend. ...
15 too many guys with speedos on the beach
... all were wearing Speedos. 15 too many in my opinion. Rob and I found ourselves both complaining that for Brazil, there was a serious lack of hot girls on the beach. Rob and I spent the better part of the Friday's good ...
The final Brazilian chapter....
... we visited on our tour of South America – if not the most expensive of all countries we visited. Hotel accommodation in Brazil (certainly in large cities) blew our budget apart. Basic hotels were circa £200 (minimum) a night. To upgrade or try to ...
Beach, Samba and Havianas
After a long day and night travelling from Mexico City, we finally arrived in Sao Paulo. We didnt really do it justice as we were both tired and had to get down to Rio the next day. All the same, we did a bit of exploring. It is ...
Buzios ou St Tropez??
La ville se situe à deux heures de Rio de Janeiro. Elle est devenue célèbre grâce à Brigitte Bardot qui a souhaité en faire le St Tropez brésilien. Le village est charmant mais on sent tout de même le côté bourgeois que la ville a prise. On a ...

Búzios - little piece of Paradise
... (like little chalet's), and the downtown area is choc full of restaurants and little boutiques. It's like the Gatlinburg of Brazil, but not as kitchy! Our Pousada was like entering a secret little world - literally. It is off the ...
Buzios - Portuspanglish
After the wonderful bus ride, we had to find our way to the hotel. The Buzios website made it look like it was just a few blocks away from the bus stop. That was a mistake. I should've contacted the hotel in advance to find out directions from the bus ...
