Hotel Le Relais Laborie Buzios

... the South American St Tropez.<br> <br>It&#8217;s not hard to see why, as this little Portuguese fishing town has a lot in common with many of the small towns we have travelled through in the Mediterranean.<br> <br>Buzios is very pretty and quaint, with cobbled little streets, quiet courtyards, a cafe on every corner, and lots of lovely bars to enjoy a sunset drink. And if you have some spare cash to spend, the exclusive boutiques were ...

... t bring my camera. While sitting there I start thinking of Deep Thoughts and how I used to write my own every Monday and send it out to everyone. I think the best one I came up with was "I think a good way for the earth to make some well deserved money would be to tilt on it's axis in such a way that all the tropical areas around the equator become bitterly cold just after cornering the market in Burlington Coat ...

... some amazingly high peaks. One of these days I will gather the time, money and courage and sign up for a hiking/camping trip there, it was spectacular! We arrived at Mariana's father's house at 5 PM on Thursday...exhausted and in dire need of food, water and a shower! Mariana has a bit of an interesting family. She is 34 years old and is the result from her father's first marriage. She also has a sister that resulted from that first union. Her father married a second time and ...

... The gay club played lots of random different good types of music. Some which I was supprised to hear like spice girls- I cant even remember hearing them in a club?! It was hot and sweaty again in there and instead of the sexy samba this time it was more party, fun dancing- everyone was was freiendly. The next day I went a a tour to see Maracana Stadium (holds 120,000), Samdarone (where they have carnival), Santa Tereza ...

... couple of their friends, but it was almost too crazy with all kinds of people just drinking and partying in the street. But it was definitely worth seeing. Tomorrow I fly to Buenos Aires where I will remain for the duration of my trip. I wanted to stop at Iguazu falls on both the Brazilian and Argentinian side, but it was a 22 hour bus ride to there from Rio, and another 40 some hour bus ride to Buenos Aires, and after 4 and a half months on the truck I just ...

... are amazing; beaches everywhere, the city in the distance, no other people, and the feeling that it was earned through a great hike. I strongly recommend this for moderately experienced climbers. We get to the top and there is a horde of people from the cable car. I hear English for the first time in along time. Turns out there are lots of English, other European and Ausies but I spot few Americans.

... diverse canzoni e diversi balli, poi a votazione popolare viene eletto il migliore che sará quello che sfilerá durante il carnevale... ogni quartiere decide un tema al quale ispirarsi e da lí poi nascono le idee... proprio bello! ad esempio nella Favela Cantagallo (l'esibizione che ho visto io) il tema scelto mi pare di aver capito che sia la lotta al razzismo, visto che le canzoni inneggiano all'uguaglianza razziale e i balli sono quasi sempre ...

... 3rd time I´d been there when these two families get together and it is just heavy partying. Plain and simple. Beach all day, party all night. Lots of fun happened...hanging out in Maresias, in Camburi, visiting friends of friends on the beach, santa hats, Christmas log book, making fun of Chris´s side burns, catching more waves, fresco ball, the always fun making fun of other people´s attempt to speak another language (me to Portuguese and the ...

... a bunch of the beaches. I have not really got too into the Caiírhinas so far, finding them too much like Tequilla! But when you are floating in the sea just off your boat, they seem to go down rather well! We had six!! Please see the photos of how stunning this place is, if you can ever get here - DO!! We are here for another two days and then off to the Ilha Grande for a bit of seclusion and island paradise, as if here is not paradise enough. By the way - we are having a great time!!
