Vamos para praia, Florianópolis
Paa bussen/busstasjonen traff jeg 2 jenter (Clare og Cally) og en gutt (Ash) fra England (Ash er sammen med Cally). Vi bestemte oss for aa leie en leilighet sammen for 5 dager. Foerste dagen hadde vi alle reist lenge og var ganske slitne, men vi tok ...
The dangers of neat spirits
From looking at the map it didn't look too complicated to get from Illa Grande to Florianopolis, main roads, large cities on route, a popular hop from one island to the other, surely we'd be able to go directo? After 1 boat, 3 buses, a taxi, and 24 hours ...
Las praias do Brasil

I had planned to goto Ilha Campeche a little island reserve about a 2 hour boat ride away but the overnight storms had meant that the boats were unable to leave the harbour. So I headed down to Praia Mole and as expected the surf was massive. ...

Maybe the Catholic Capitol of the World
... is more than enough for me. A big city with the ever attractive poverty life and homeless. I catch a late bus- 5 hrs to Florianopolis. Air conditioned and reclining seats, movies, etc. ´Floripa´ is a City that reaches out into the ocean, paved roads ...
Back in Brazil
... in the world. It´s a huge and varied country. Much to see and do. Skipping Porto Alegre, I decided to stay in Florianopolis, rather than Porto Alegre. Reason: Florianopolis is on an island, functioning as a major hub for various beaches all around Santa ...
Florianopolis
Florianopolis is definitely up there as one of the best places we have been so far. I will definitely be back here. We stayed in a small town called Barra Da Lagoa in the south of Santa Catalina. We had arranged to meet up with Simon there as he was ...

Australia in Brazil?
Arriving in Florianopolis around 1 in the morning, we were greeted with torrential rainfall and a humidity that would only be deemed normal in Brazil. It was late, I was exhausted and we had just survived a gruelling 11 hours on a ...

Life is a beach!
... verder met de reis... Ik ben afgelopen vrijdagnacht met de bus vanuit Sao Paulo vertrokken en zaterdagochtend aangekomen in Florianopolis. Mijn argwaan was terecht, want er was dus geen vlucht voor mij gereserveerd, dus ff schakelen en dan ...
I suppose I really should go do something....
... where to head? I wanted to head to the coast and my original plan was to head to Santa Catarina and Florianopolis, but I had been a little perturbed by the realisation that of course now it was winter and the water and weather might ...
We've got the Azorean Spirit (how 'bout you?)
If I had to pick a place to live in Brazil, it would undoubtedly be Florianopolis (or "Floripa" for short). As if reading my mind, VEJA magazine, a Brazilian publication, actually named Florianopolis "the best place to live in Brazil." An island with 42 ...
Board shorts finally coming in handy...
... to do. While we talked in our obviously loud and overbearing english, a kiwi overheard us and gave me a map of Florianopolis marked with hostels, laundromat, market, etc. This was a lifesaver as I´d be arriving at midnight and otherwise would´ve ...
Florianopolis Feb 4-7

Banjo Pete and bodyboarding in Florianopolis
After nearly two days travelling I am now further down the coast of Brazil in a place called Florianopolis which is turning out to right up there in the "paradise" stakes with Ihla Grande! So much so that I´ve now changed my plans slightly and will be ...
