Florianopolis Hostels - Reviews and Rates

The plan after Florianopolis was to meet up with our guide (Danielo) who would take us out to see some of the sites of Brazil that most tourists never see. Looking back it really worked well (yeah, î'm writing this at the end of our week with Dany in Porto Allegre). Our first day in Florianoplis we went for a 3 hour treck around a peninsula and ...

Well there isn't really anyone here either, but at least its pretty. I got to Florianopolis after a bit longer than expected bus ride. It seems that Brazil is redoing all of their roads here in the south so there was construction the entire way. The roads are pretty ****, so they do really need to improve them. I got really sketched out in the P...

I switched over to Florianópolis because although Praia da Armação was just getting good weather, it was literally only a street corner and nothing else. I didn´t like the idea of having to take the bus just to get to a restaurant because all of them at Armação closed at about 8 pm. At least within the city, there´s always a place to eat. The ci...

So far our nights out here have been top quality. Our first night out we went to drink at a Mexican Bar/Restaurant with our housemates and some friends. A few tequila shots later we head to Cafe do Sol, a trendy nightclub by Lagoa. The club has awesome music including rnb, house and dance. We spend the night dancing around completely trashed off...

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. I could not make it pass the first break without getting sucked 400 meters down the beach towards a coup...

One of the forum questions today was 'What will you NOT miss about being on the road?" Here was my list... Well given I am on the road right now, everything is very fresh in my mind about what I will NOT miss once I get home... *having to watch what I eat so I don´t end up sick.. again! *living out of a pack that is a little smaller than all the...

So John and I have thoroughly been enjoying some good quality time at the beach the last few days. However, yesterday our luck ran out and we both came back to our hotel being a lovely shade of red. That would be a dark red, not a slight shade of red. Today cooperated with us and decided to be overcast and rainy, so we had absolutely no temptati...

Ola peeps back at home. Our adventure in Florianopolis starts with an 11 hour bus ride. Not so bad considering we had an air conditioned cabin sitting in a recliner with leg rests...this is how we roll baby, booyaka! We stayed at the Bell Hostel which was situated along the beach...best view ever! There is nothing like waking up in the morning w...

A long trip in a foreign country with a different language always presents challenges and for someone who seems to often make rather stupid mistakes in my home town under the best of circumstances, well, lets just say we have been fairly lucky so far. There are of course a few to report though as mistakes usually make for funny stories...after y...
