Finally made it to Buzios after going backwards and forwards to the bus terminal to book tickets. Checked into the Buzios Adventure Hostel which was far from adventurous! In fact when we left, Boucs went to get our bags and the woman opened the door with the lock and chain still on and handed our bags through the gaps. She also wouldn´t let Boucs use the toilet and slamed the door in his face! Bouzios was great though, we went to 3 different beaches. Tartaruya was quite pretty. This is where Boucs sorted out a fishing trip for us which consisted of us sitting on this boat for 30 mins while it was being inspected by police, then being told its not going fishing, it was actually a water taxi to a nearby town!

Buzios, Brazil Sept. 12 -15 Our trip to Buzios started out badly with a 7 hour bus trip from Rio that should have been 2.5 hours.

Looking around, the place seems like it could be a real paradise. There are several large beaches, nice archetecture. The problem is, the rain. Its been pissing here nonstop! So we took advantage of the bleak, desparate ambience yesterday and visited a cemetary. This place puts a north american one to shame! It was eerie as hell, but also quite peaceful. A paradox! The graves were made out of porceline type boxes about ground, and crosses and plastic flowers were a plenty. As I walked I ran into a cat that must have lived there. A lovely scene watching him wander amid the graves carefully and ... read more
