 Friends by selfishman
I decided to get out of Rio for the day and go to Ilha Grande, about two hours south of Rio. The cost was I think 80 Brazillian Reals about $20 US dollars for the whole day...including transport, guided tour,boat ride, and lunch.
First of all waking up at 7:00 AM to catch the bus was not easy but anyway...I get on the bus with no A/C and the windows won't open but then we transfer to another bus with nice reclining seats, and most important A/C.
The ride down south was amazing in itself. We went through some of the most beautiful cuntryside I've ever seen and we also saw a lot of the country's poverty. Of course I ran out of film right before this trip so unfortunately I can't provide any pictures...sorry.
Anyway, I met a guy from London a group of girls from Washington D.C and a couple guys from Greece so now we have a crew...We all wondered all around the island, found monkeys, had some drinks, and almost got left behind-twice. The tour guide wasn't too amused but he still let us have fun. i wish I had a picture of this guy he was a cross between the midget on fanatasy Island and Al Pacino...He was always yelling at us to hurry and catch up...I guess you had to have been there. Anyway, It was a wonderful day we all became good friends and had an awesome day...all for $20! Leave a Comment

 Relaxing at Ilha do Mel by swesn
There are no roads or cars on this island. Everyone walks around in flip-flops or bare-footed across the sand. On weekends, the island is very crowded with Brazilians from nearby Sao Paulo but on other days, it is very tranquil. There are lovely walks around the island alternating between headlands and sandy beaches. Some sections (from Encantadas to Nova Brazilia) cannot be walked and one might have to rent boats to get across or head back the long way.
I love this island very much.
From Curitiba, take the 4-hour scenic train (only available from Thursday to Sunday) or the very frequent 1-hour bus ride to Paranagua.
There is a boat that leaves from the dock at around 3pm to Ilha do Mel. There are different boat schedules for weekdays and weekends. Leave a Comment
