Background: Following three centuries under the rule of Portugal, Brazil became an independent nation in 1822. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil overcame more than half a century of military intervention in the governance of the country when in 1985 the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader. Highly unequal income distribution remains a pressing problem.

Buzios

Just got back to Rio after spending the week in Buzios, a beautiful small town about 3.5 hours north surrounded by over 40 beaches. It was paradise... Going back to Buenos Aires on Wednesday next week and will be back in Sydney on 9th August. I'm sad that the trip is almost over but really looking forward to seeing you all again once I get back...one thing Ive realised on this trip is that 'home' really is where your friends are...love you and miss you heaps.

Beautiful beaches

beach

Buzios is a small town 3 hours east of rio de janeiro. It is a small, posh town with with over 17 beaches. The water is always warm, there is good surf and lots of brazillians go there during their holidays. When I visited, it was quite and not much happening at night or during the day due to the fact that it was the weekday and no one was on holiday. due to the off season, things were half the price. we stayed at this nice posuada, which is like a hotel with breakfast included for 25 reals a night.

Learning scuba in Buzios
What are you, retarded Rick? Put the hose in your mouth and breath!

Buzios (Feb 20-27) and Buenos Aires (Feb 27-March 6) Buzios... muy tranquilo- as the locals would say. I was last seen at a Rolling Stones concert in Rio celebrating my 19th birthday preparing to head south to El Calafate. It was such a good time I missed my flight the next morning to Buenos Aires and down to Patagonia where some friends I was supposed to meet were heading to tackle the cold southern mountains of the world. I couldn't make it down so I had to figure out what to do; that Sunday was one of those hungover days trying [View Full Entry]

RIO: The View from Sugar Loaf
There is certainly a huge advantage to all of the mini mountains in Rio, the views are amazing!

I never thought I would be so excited about landing in an airport. Rio is the first place I´ve been in a while, where I didn't have to follow the normal route (cash machine, tourist office, transit sort, accommodation sort, food needs...) as I was met by my Aunt Jojo and Uncle Peter. We were accompanied by my newly adopted gran Pene, who sensibly left the grey skies of England for the joys of Brazil. We were then whisked a couple of hours north of Rio to Buzios and met up with my cousins Ross and Blaise. It´s a holiday for [View Full Entry]

Big Gym
in the harbour of no-girl town

Ah, a friendly lttle bookshop with an upstairs couple of machines and a comfortable chair......in this episode we move on down the coast, just a few observations and then to Rio. We´ve been thru big cane, big cashew, big banana, now it seems to be big pawpaw, or papaya again or another local name I haven´t fathomed...and really, its ´small´pawpaw not big pawpaw, but perfectly formed, of course....everyone seems to be planting pawpaws and theres been some genetic monkeying about as these ones have 15 or 20 smallish fruit clustered around the trunk just under the leaf canopy like some multi-tes [View Full Entry]

Buggy in Buzios

Buggy Action
Great fun driving around the beaches.

After the joys of Isla Grande, I headed back to Rio for one (quiet night) before catching the bus to a place called Buzios about 3 hours up the coast from Rio. It´s a nice place that is apparently the Saint Tropez of Brazil. I´m not sure about that, but it was a nice place with around 17 beaches around a penninsula. (Really could do with an English spell checker!). On the bus I met a couple of American girls that I had seen on the Island so we got a Pousada together. They were on a bit more of a [View Full Entry]

Buzios

Buzios is a beautiful and chilled out city near Rio de Janeiro - about 3 hours driving. It became famous in the 60's, when Brigitte Bardot spent some time there. In the 70's, Mick Jagger was there for a couple of days. People say he arrived in a limo, and that was the first time that Buzios saw one. The beaches are wonderful. Some are so calm that just doesn't have waves, while others are great for surfing or kite surfing. The colour of the water is also amazing... At night people go to "Rua das Pedras", which means Stones Street. [View Full Entry]
