Just got back from two thoroughly relaxing days at Rodolpho's father's vacation house in Angra dos Reis, RJ. Three hours south of here (driving fast!) it's halfway between Rio and Sao Paulo, on the coast, and a favorite weekend getaway for Rio's upper class. Rogerio (that's R's dad) has a modest but very comfortable house on the bay there, and a gorgeous sailboat that is moored right in the canal where the house is located. Technically we were in the Marina da Bracui, which is tiny community that basically consists of a marina and a bunch of vacation houses on the eastern side of the bay. A canal was dredged so that people could keep their boats on their property, and today it's lined with picturesque homes, each with its own boat floating out back. Words ... read more

A cab through downtown Rio at what was probably just after peak time took us to the bus station. The cab driver knew all the back alleys and got us there in no time at all and surprisingly, we were not fleeced! All the travel books give warnings about the bus station, so packs tightly held we entered to catch the Costa Verde bus to Angra Dos Rais, some 2-3 hours south of Rio. The outskirts of Rio are a shanty sprawl of unfinished houses and sheds amassed alongside a four lane industrial style road. In stark contrast, the backdrop is of green forested hills leading to the mountains, with clouds fluttering across the top and a misty haze that hugs the hills like a fine rain. The sprawl lasts for about 40 minutes (no idea ... read more

Who were we to turn down an invitation to join the Geyer family at their beach house in Angra?....it just wouldn't be right. Angra is two hours south of Rio and boasts 365 islands and 2000 beaches so finding a nice white sand beach for yourself isn't terribly difficult if you boat around the endless coves. A special thanks to the Geyer family and staff that made this visit so unforgettable. The days were full of sight seeing the surrounding beaches of which "Dentist Island" I will forever day dream of with it's perfectly round coral white grains of sand that you could roll in your fingers like fine caviar...i was caught staring at it too many times. Paradise was realized here with perfect weather, crystal clear blue water, floating restaurants delivering boatside fresh seafood ... read more

Rio oli jo nähty, olisihan siellä varmaan vaikka mitä nähtävää, mutta ei mitään sellaista mitä ei vois tulla katsomaan joku toinen kerta uudestaan ;) Päätettiin lähteä kohti Ihla Grandea, jonne pääsee Angra Dos Reis-nimisen kalastaja/telakka kaupungin kautta. Bussi ei kestänyt kuin kolmisen tuntia, joten se oli aika kivuton matka (lukuun ottamatta uudenvuoden yöstä jäänyttä pientä heikkoa oloa). Tie myötäili rannikkoa ja kävi välillä korkealla vuorilla, joten maisemat olivat ihan ok. Katja taas nukkui tavalliseen tapaansa. Saavuttiin tosin sen verran myöhään, että paatti saarelle oli jo mennyt. Jubaltiin parin muun reissaajan kanssa ja he osasivat opastaa meidät paikkaan, josta voisi lähteä muitakin kyytejä. Sinne päin mennessämme kävelimme jonkinlaisen vesikarnevaalin läpi. Beachilla oli stage pystyssä missä poppi jytäs. Poliiseja oli vartoimassa 300 metrin välein, että homma pysyy lapa... read more
