There’s a few things we’ve learned since we’ve been in Brazil, but arguably one of the most important things is that the weather can be VERY unpredictable. We we’re reminded of this at 4.30am when a typical Brazilian storm swept it’s way across the sea and right onto our balcony – where our freshly washedContinue reading “Day 26 – Quarta Praia (Fourth Beach)”

Day 25 – The Tale of the Frog and the Toilet 🐸
Last nights’ sleep was absolutely dreadful. Who knew a peaceful little paradise island could be so noisy?! The sound of barking dogs and Wednesday night party go-ers was enough to make one very tired in the morning. Tip for future travellers: pack ear plugs. All happiness was restored when we rolled out of bed andContinue reading “Day 25 – The Tale of the Frog and the Toilet 🐸“
Day 11 – Paraty (Para-Chee)
Today we woke up in possibly one of the worst ways possible. Imagine, you’re lying in bed asleep surrounded by beautiful trees and plants, the sound of tweeting and chirping, and then you feel a tickle on your leg. The tickle of a moving creature. I looked down to find a giant COCKROACH crawling upContinue reading “Day 11 – Paraty (Para-Chee)”
Day 12 – Marmosets Don’t Like Tomatoes
If we learnt anything from today, it was that marmosets (Brazilian ones anyway) apparently turn their noses away at tomatoes and lettuce.

The trouble is,Continue reading “Day 12 – Marmosets Don’t Like Tomatoes”
Day 8: Chasing Waterfalls
Today was supposed to be a really boring day. The weather forecast was rubbish, and we figured it might be a good day to get flights and activities booked ahead for our ongoing destinations. That plan however, went swiftly out the window. It had rained for about four or five hours solid, it was aroundContinue reading “Day 8: Chasing Waterfalls”
Day 7: The Little Big Island
This morning was that kind of morning where you wake up and temporarily forget where you are. It was warm, the sound of the fan above us whirring and the crickets outside were waking for their daily duties. When I realised I was waking up on the beautiful little island of Ilha Grande (which standsContinue reading “Day 7: The Little Big Island”
Day 6: Journey to Ilha Grande
We woke up early this morning to ensure we made the most of the delicious breakfast at Windsor Leme. Imagine the hardest choice of your day being the decision on what to have in your freshly cooked omelette for breakky! If there were awards for the best hotel breakfasts, this place should be in theContinue reading “Day 6: Journey to Ilha Grande”
