Headed from Rio down down south for 30 hours to Florionopolis (Yes I said 30 hours! Remember if you're getting bored about me mentioning the bus journeys, remember I had to actually do them!) as luck would have it though they sell valium over the counter in Brazil and I slept like a baby for at least 24 hours whilst Greyhead struggled beside me. We travelled with our new friend Bonnie "Off The" Hook who we had met in Rio and was taken in as my little sister and Steve's daughter! 😊 Finally arrived mid afternoon and took the local bus over to the islands and the Backpackers Sharehouse where we were staying for the next five days. The bus stops at the end of the line and then you have to cross a rope bridge to get to the hostel! The very first night we met the gang who we would spend the next few days with, it's weird how people cycle through the hostels. (Hey Alan, Welsh, Boyley, Hannah, Ben and of course Bons!) They have an honesty blackboard at the hostel where you chalk up whatever food or drink you have and it gets added to your bill, let's just say Steve and I are officially super honest!! The day we arrived and the day after were absolutely gorgeous and it was perfect just to wander down to the beach and fall in the sea. Literally in the case of Bonnie who stood on a rock a little too close to the oncoming waves and was nearly washed out to sea!! Just as in Rio the waves were really powerful but an absolute blast to roll around in. One of the nights we ventured down to the local town for an evenings entertainment at the 'John Bull Pub' very brazilian name I know but the live music was actually pretty good and we were lucky not to lose anyone to suspect females who might be 'packin'!! Next day was pretty dull but used it to go into downtown Florionopolis and book our bus tickets to Buenos Aires. Had a fun night at Halloween, no-one got dressed up but a little thing called a 'Caiparinha' made with 80% proof Cacheca (local cane alcohol) kicked everyone's asses and made sure it was a memorable night! Managed to get one more nice day sunbathing in before we left, bring on Argentina and steak!!
