Paraty
A lovely little Colonial town
11.11.2006
Today we´ve been to Trinidad!...a small beach town just down the road from Paraty. We went on a little tour, had to climb over these massive boulders and the tide was coming in. I got a wet bum at one point, but was more worried about getting my camera wet! Taken some cool photos, but having some problems getting them online. Just comes up with Image on the site when I´ve published it rather than photo (anyone help!??) The weather was great so we got to sit onthe beach for a while, so caught up on the tanning from Rio. After the beach we went up into the mountains and saw some waterfalls and went to a distilary. The mountains were cool and there was some guy rock surfing, it was really cool. Apparentlty he was the current champion at this crazy sport! He was just gliding down the rocks on his feet, they were flatish slippy rocks!...well, I almost landed on my bottom anyway. A couple of the girls tried this surfing...but on their bums instead, landing in very fresh water!
Been to the supermarket to get some supplies for our long journey. We leave Paraty at 9am and don´t get to Iguazzu unitl Monday late afternoon, so don´t think I´m going to be feeling too good after thet journey. Just been out looking aroundthis beautiful town, there´s some kind of celebration going on for 5 nights. People are playing music, dancing in the street and lots of religious ceremonies and Mum, you´d love the fireworks. They are evry loud though! We just went fot some food and then bought some cake from one of the street vendors, they all bake cakes and sell them in the street. It was very nice. Going back to the hotel now to sort all my stuff out for this long journey. Be a few days before I update again.








Faye! It looks so amazing, you lucky thing. You're going to come back so brown!
