Ok so its taken a little while to get going with this, but as you have guessed we have been in brazil a little over 2 weeks now!
started off in Rio, visiting the norml sites and sounds. Sugarloaf, Christo, and the maracana, plus a superb street party on a friday night in Lapa.
Since Rio we have spent four nights on the tranquil island of ilha grande, which entailed a 3hr bus ride, and the 50mins on a catarmaran to get there, from there we spent 2 nights in paraty, a very european feeling town on the coast, with a pier and an active fishing community.
Just arrived in Sao paulo and will see what it brings.
