Rio - Paraty

Hola from Brazil,

Hey right basically thought this would be easier than emailing you each time and you can see some photos of where I have been. As I already told you we got to Rio fine and went up sugarloaf mountain and walked around Copacobana and Ipenema beaches. They following day we went up to Christ the Redeemer and then out in Lapa with some people from the hostel.

After Rio we went to Ilha Grande, a Island south west of Rio without and cars on it and no cash machines. Stayed in the only town/village called Abraão. The weather was improved a lot (it had been cloudy in Rio, but still about 26 deg), did a couple walks to beaches, one was called Lopez Mendez, you can look it up.

Walk near Abraão

 Stayed in Ilha Grande for 4 nights and we are now in Paraty, which is further west along the coast. Its an old town with a historic centre and ridiculously rough cobbled streets in parts. Walked around it today, seems really nice and a bit posh if anything.

Paraty, Cultural Centre

Staying here a couple nights then off to Trinadado for a couple. Keep you posted when I can.
