    We arrive at 430 am and i wake as we pull into the rodovieria and i ask the driver where i can buy the ticket to Itacare he explains i need to leave the station go up to the ticket office and come back down for departure and that it leaves a 530. This is perfect as i have time to get some money and a coffee. A guy asks if he can join me as he has to get to Itacare too. We leave the rodoviaro to go upstairs and buy our tickets and there are 3 cash machines all with people at them but they all say they are not working but Kuen has said hell give me the cash for his bus ticket. I grab a coffee and 3 buses pull in so once i work out which one is ours the guys put the baggage on the bus and we board. I sleep for the first couple of hours of the journey but im rudely awakened by the guy behind me who starts singing at the Top of his voice totally out of tune to which the girl beside him puts her music on loud speaker and i can honestly say i prefer hers to the singing. This kicks of the guy next to her who tells her to put her headphones on. She does this but then starts howling too. Oh i wish id brought ear defenders. We are half way through what should have been a 4 hour journey but were on five hours here. Eta has changed from 930 to 3 in the afternoon. We arrive in town just after 3 and take a taxi to the hostel where Kuen has reserved, first stopping at the bank. At last we have money😘 Feeling like i can now pay we book into the hostel for 3 nights. The place is perfect, with the best view ive had from room. We drop our bags and make straight for the water to be told we cant go in because they are using the beach to film a disney surfing film. We sit on the beach enjoying watching all the action with surfong dudes running up the beach being filmed with camera drones. It really is parAdise here. In the evening we go out and have a small snack in the bar before heading back to the hostel . As we sit out back the moon bounces of the sea bright orange its like seeing half sun half moon. I retire to bed feeling tired but happy.Read more
