After travelling for 4 months we decided it was about time for a little relaxation, a little time out from constantly moving about...so lying on a beach in Brazil was ideal! It´s a hard life, this travelling lark!
We headed to Florianopolis, a beautiful area with some great beaches. Jen was joining us there, we were looking forward to some company from someone back home...And some new books, toiletries and music!
We eventually got oursleves to Praia da Armacao after much strife with the local buses and then were shown to the posada we were looking for by a very helpful German guy who lived in the area (we were very obviously lost). He enthusiastically talked to us for a while in German...couldnt understand a word, then spanish....still couldnt understand a word (Spanish with a heavy German accent, we had no hope) But as usual we smiled, and smiled a bit more and everyone was happy.
Posada Pires put an even bigger smile on our face cause our room had a little kitchen dining area. We hadnt had our own kitchen for four months! We literally ran to the supermarket to pick up meat and cooked a huge spag bol. Just what we needed after a diet of hamburgers for the last few days. Pires himself was the sweetest man in the world. He told us about a fruit and vegetable place down the road that sold everything for 30p a kilo. We stocked up on the most amazing mangos, pineapple, apples, bananas and made an awesome fruit salad. We were happy, full, bunnies.
The next day we woke up to damp roads, it has been raining pretty much all night and it was still pretty windy, we were starting to wonder if we had done the right thing by coming, especially when Jenny was coming to join us from London...
