Jabaquara beach

Lazy day ... spent the day at Jabaquara beach, 15 mins walk north of our hostel, across a bridge with big crabs underneath with bright red legs. Read in the sun, had a coconut to cool off plus a delicious chocolate / coconut / strawberry truffle (R3) whilst listening to a man and his guitar, sunbathed some more, dipped in the sea to cool off, wandered home ... it's a hard life! Anna managed not to burn most of herself but still missed two large patches on her calves :(
On our way back we passed a tiny tiny van blaring out music such as the lion king theme with the driver yelling churros. Inside the back of the van was his churro-making equipment- amazing!
Planned to go to a Brazilian restaurant for dinner but we left the hostel with no map and no clue where it was, doh. After no luck stumbling across it we decided to postpone and went for a cheap per kilo place just outside the historic centre (R9 for me) and ice cream (R6) - Anna's heavier both times surprise surprise!! For an after dinner treat we went in a chocolate shop and bought 5 truffles (5R) to share. Brazilian chocolate is yummy :)Read more
