Ilha Grande.
An island aproximately 2 hours by bus from Rio and 2 hours by boat. We had nothing but extremely positive comments on this place. There are no cars, nor ATM machines over there..We did not know exactly what to expect. First things we saw; lots of palmtrees again, mountains covered with rainforest, amazing beaches (again), a lot of boats. There is one main street, a sandy one, with nothing but pousadas (motels). All decorated quite refined, nice restaurants and a cosey candle light ambience. We stayed 3 days, got a bit of sun because the weather was amazing. Boattrip, exploring bounty beaches, you know, that kind a thing ;-) Horrible, but someone has to do it.....
We were actualy lucky, the weather had been very bad before and we arrived just for the festive weekend, when they dance forro (a very simple but nice dance) on the square, eat food from little tents. I like the acarajé (a fried boll with big fresh shrimps and different kind of Brasilian sauces in it). We stayed up very late for the first time and also had a few too many drinks for the very first time. Nothing to be ashamed of, just a tipsy wiggly walk back to the pousada. Which is allowed, the last week....
