Othon Pousada Villa Del Sol Paraty

... around looking for a place to die.<br><br>Like Sao Paulo we don´t know if the overcast conditions were due to a weather front or smog related. Most of the lunatics behind the wheel of the trucks and cars that rattle down the dusty roads drive like they´re fleeing the police and their vehicles kick out more fumes than a 1930´s dockyard. Luckily the local council are looking to redress the balance and avert an impending ecological disaster by making poor ...

... tomorrow early in the am... we are having a hard time finding a hostel as it is a national holiday here! so we are paying more. just found a hostel and im packed in with 5 english men who are very funny and want to hang... they are harmless and fun. they just broke out the rum not too long ago so i split to find some food. we showered and are going to head into the center of town to see whats going on in their big tent. will stay in touch.<br><br> <br>

... Brazil - there is an air of laid backness like I´ve experienced nowhere else and if people were any friendlier, they´d probably offer to play naked Twister with Justine. Everyone just treats you like a lord - but not in anything other than a "treat this place like your home" type of way. The attitude of the people is putting Brazil high on my list of "must come back here soon" destinations. <br><br>The guys stocked up on Cachaca in the distillery and ...

... reminded me of Finding Nemo), a translucent blue trumpetfish and a couple of soles (sand dollar types of fish that camouflage with the sandy bottom). Although it wasn't the Similan Islands (little is), it was still a great day of diving. We had another great pizza dinner and tried to relax that night, but were kept up from the thumping club music playing across the street until 9am! As I said earlier, the chill island atmosphere is destroyed by the music festival ...

... shop is worth a mention - passionfruit and chocolate are divine. They are all made with real fruits which you can top it off with nuts and melted chocolate sauce. <br> <br>There is alot on offer here - boat trips, horseriding, cycling, kayaking etc.......we choose to do nothing. Just wandering around the place is such a pleasure feeling the sun on your skin.

... in my face, really no place to get confer table at all, you got in hopefully semi drunk, so you didn´t have to think wear you are, and just simply fell asleep out of alcohol. As if that was not enough, there were screaming kids, signing old men,all this at 5;30am, plugged toilets, fesses in the shower, On the same floor as are hammock´s, there was the shower, the toilets, they cute the raw meet around the facility´s, and cooked ...

... tomorrow thouh, although we think this may just be a ploy in order to make us actually stay here, instead of heading on! The views on the bus ride here were absoultely amazing- beautiful beaches, serene islands and towering jungle covered mountains. Although busses may be slow, they certainly are great for seeing the sights! Cant wait to hit the beaches tomorrow (weather permitting!) Peace out. Matt and Chris

... 10 years younger than his eldest child. The cute little cabin boy we found out wasn't a virgin, had slept with many women and didn't have a girlfriend, because why have one when you can have many......blimey, they start young in Brazil. At some point later that day, I knew I was drunk as I decided to do the ' look at me in the water, I have removed my swimming costume' trick and then proceeded to have immense difficulty putting it back on much to the delight of some ...
