Brazil - Ilha Grande & Paraty


To get to the island of Ilha Grande, we took a ferry over from the mainland town of Angra dos Reis.

Walking to the ferry dock in Angra dos Reis:
Ilha Grande is lush green, with hidden, undeveloped beaches - your typical island paradise. Every morning, we walked down to the dock and took a ferry to different beaches on the island:

We hiked to this waterfall:
The whole island did not have electricity the first night we were there. The hotel gave us couple candles:

We also visited Paraty, an old Portuguese colonial town. The historical center is well-preserved and closed to vehicles:

Michael - thanks! Now I categorize all our trip experience into ´blog-worthy´ and ´blog-unworthy.´ Sad, really...

Lil, Heather, Brooklyn, Donnie - please see next post. I am very proud of him.

Woni - Unless one is 6 ft tall and in her early 20´s (thus gravity-defying), the thong bikini does not seem to be very flattering...

Nana - Momjjang may be pushing it...
