Ilhabela

3 hour bus ride, 20 min ferry boat and onto the island of Ihabella. No reservations so we went to the tourist office to look for a place to stay, oh did I mention it was raining? Got lucky and got a really nice room with a view. The next day the rain stopped so we cruised the island on bikes looking for a Brazillian Bikini for Amie. Nice!

Today we took a jeep ride through the jungle to the other side of the island. It took two hours and the road was pretty burley in places (sorry Jeff your sled wouldn't have made it). The beach was beautiful but there were a ton of mosquitoes. They normally don't like me but I had to spray down every 20 min. Amie's ass looks like it has small pox. I took the dive and went into the ocean for the first time. Water is about the temperature of San Diego in early summer so it isn't exactly hawaii, mexico or the caribean, but anything to get away from the bugs.

The food here is great. Fried fish, shrimp and rice and beans come with everything. We finally saw how they are making the drink Amie has been sipping here. One full lime, like 8 sugar cubes and to the top with 151. No wonder she has been so plyable.

We are both sunburned but happy the rain stopped and happy to be at the beach. Amie is sitting next to me trying to book the next stop. Looks like every Brazillian in the country is out at the beach so we may have to pay through the nose to stay in Ipanema Beach, oh well there goes the Christmas bonus.

We are off to Paraty tomorrow. Amie's friend Jill at work says it is fantastic. More beach for us! Too bad we weren't born with beautiful brazilian skin, people were laughing at Amie's tan (burn) lines at the beach yesterday.

Off for a cocktail!
