my amazing choices

We were all very excited to get a sleep in today and as we had had very little sleep due to the concert we were very gateful for it. We got up about 9 ad had a good breakie at the hostel and then were informed that we had to clean the truck! So that we did for a few hours...big job but we did a goodie if I must say so myself! Then everyone headed down to the beach for sunbathing and swimming. Elle has been sick with a very sore throat so she chilled out in the room in the am till lunch. Had a group make us pasta salad for lunch which was pretty good. After lunch 5 of us headed out on kayaks to paddle around the islands and have lil adventures! Which we did with Allie (not elle - she headed into the town with trav to find throat medicine) and I both slipping over on sharp rocks and caning ourselves, blood and all! Pretty funny but sore all the same!

After an hour and a haf out on the water we headed back and wandered into town to get money out, buy havis, toileteries

the roads in the town of paraty

which almost lasted the whole trip but not quite, and to enter and indulge in the self serve gelato up for offer!!! Sooooo yum!! They charge you based on the weight of the container you fill! Mine came to like 13.86 real (like $10!!!) I couldnt believe it! But when scoffing through my treat I struggle to scoop a bit and realise there is a MASSIVE chunk of solid dark choc in it like 0.75cm by 5cm big!!! I was robbed! That was the weight!

Cook group struggled tonight and took over 2 hours to cook chicken curry which was very spicy but not bad! Everyone has headed to bed early tonight cos tomorrow we are heading out on a cruise named the booze cruise (cos the brazilian cocktail - extremely potent!!!) is happening tomorrow all arvo for us!
