    • Day 63

      Ilha Grande

      May 19, 2023 in Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Today, we had a lovely day out on a party boat with everyone in our group! We were lucky to have beautiful sunny weather all day! After swimming in the water to our boat at a beach (being careful to ensure our bags which contained spirits bottles and mixers stayed dry), we jumped on the boat, filled up the esky and pumped up the music.

      We stopped at a beautiful beach for an hour where the boys participated in a beach sprinting race (Daniel won), we played wrestling in the water with girls on the guys shoulders, we swam and we went to a walk to see an 19th century church which was the first built on the island. We went back on the boat and then made another stop for some swimming and snorkelling. There were quite a few fish hanging around the boat and some rocks near the boat. We hopped back on the boat and at around 3pm, we stopped next to a few other boats and one of the boats served a delicious lunch which included paella, potatoes and prawns. Gab discovered that not everyone knows how to peel prawns so she taught one of the Swiss guys on the tour how to do that (who knew Aussie Christmases taught us such valuable life skills!) We chilled on the boats for a while as the boat operators made many caiprinhas and we continued drinking and dancing! The boat tour ended around 6pm and it was quite dark at this time.

      We went back to the hotel after the boat and Gab and one of the other guys on the tour went twice to a local pizza restaurant to order and bring back pizzas for the group (after the first order was demolished so quickly!) We then had a good rest after an amazing day!

    • Day 62

      Ilha Grande

      May 18, 2023 in Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      This morning, we left our beachside paradise headed for even more paradise on Ilha Grande (Big Island) for the next few days!
      We took a bus to the ferry terminal and then were able to stock up on supplies while we waited for the boat. The boat was a kind of ribbed boat and was quite bumpy (and loud) as we took approx 45min to reach the island. It also didn't have any room for our luggage so we sat with backpacks and luggage on top of us and surrounding us!
      We checked into our hotel and then the majority of the group decided to do the hike through the bush to Lopes Mendes, one of the best beaches on the island.
      We hiked up, over and across the mountains included needing to take off our shoes to cross some water channels and even use ropes to descend down rocks!
      We got to Lopes Mendes for a fantastic view, however the beach was closed due to rough surf.
      Most of the group decided to chill out and catch a water taxi back to the hotel, however we decided to make the most of the nice weather and hike back. The hike back was harder because it was more uphill and we were more tired however we made it back just in time before it got too dark!! (We love a good challenge!) The hike ended up taking us around 4.5 hours in total (around 16km).
      We then relaxed by the hotel pool and showered before heading out for a group dinner.
      Tonight’s dinner was a pasta dish, Sorrentos, an Argentine ravioli style pasta. The reason it is Argentine is because the island was inhabited by Argentines and hence their cuisine is the local favourite. We had Sorrentos stuffed with blue cheese and walnuts with a beef sauce and for desert we had a delicious brownie with ice cream and dulce de leche to share! Gab had a big glass of red wine and Daniel had a capriniha. After dinner, we headed back to the hotel.
