Somo So Amegos - Buzios

Chris and I got to the main Bus Station in Central Rio where we found our selves in possibly one of the busiest places I have ever been. People were everywhere. After translating signs we found the right queue to purchase 2 tickets to Buzios.

3 hours later we were finally on the bus... 1.5 hours later we were still on the bridge to leave Rio. TRAFFIC SUCKS!!

 

 

 

What should have been a 3 hour journey turned into 5. It was 9pm and here we were packs on our backs ready to hunt down our hostel. Cobble street filled with sun kissed tourists throwing around a mix of Spanish and Portuguese is just a easy way to describe the atmosphere..

Margaritas and crepes were the beginning of what was going to end up being a crazy night some of which I might just have to sensor for your safety and mine. hahaha kidddng Im not that badass.

                                    


Day 2 started quite late.. and very painful. And lets say I had some cleaning up to do. haha. So while I was recovering Chris managed to befriend some Americans - Ash, Mikey and Kyle whom we spent the day with discovering beaches finishing off by washing down some Caiprihinas till 5am.

Day 3. As im good at not making stupid decisions twice in a row I had managed to be good and stay sober the night before making today a lot easier. Kyle, Chris, Ruben ( our friend from spain)  and I decdided today was a good day to go and check out some of the beaches on the other side of Buzios. After what was one of the hottest and longest walks we finally reached, Praia De Geriba - massive surf beach filled with tourist. After a dip we moved onto Praia Da Ferradurinha this enclosed little bay which is normally calm and filled with paddle boarders. Today was not that day. Crazy huge waves crashing onto the rocks. Since we couldn't enjoy that beach we discovered a crazy set of stairs which according to the map were meant to lead us towards home. little did we know that it was just a huge detour over a mountain. After what was maybe an hour we found our way home..

When my baby smiles at me i go to...

..RIO DE JANERIO .

 

So after what has felt like a lifetime of flying, eating junk aeroplane food, not sleeping and watching far too many tv episodes and movies we have finally arrived in Rio De Janerio, Brazil.

Thankfully for Chris he had ore booked us into an amazing hotel. After a quick bag drop and shower we heading down to see the beach and wonder the streets. It's amazing and everything feel alive with so much atmosphere.

 

 

One thing we have noticed is that not many if any people speak English at all, and of what I can try and make out I can't because they all speak so bloody fast. I tried to get a phone SIM card and here I am, without a sim. I might try my luck again tomorrow.

Even after a walk around and a real meal I still have "air legs" I describe exactly like sea legs, everything including my brain is swaying. Off to bed now to refresh for a massive day of laying around in the sun on Copacabana beach tomorrow. Ha ha ha, yes you're jealous and I know it.

Till next time,

The first step..

The time has finally come and I have about 5 minutes to post my first post... PRESSURE!!

So here we go.... see you soon Rio.

kk.

One sleep to go..

Its 7am and im staring at the mess that has become my room. This mess is made up of bits and pieces of my life, old and new and I'm thinking how the heck am I going to fit this all into one bag, oh and  HELP!!! I despise packing let alone having to choose what out of my entire wardrobe can I part with. I guess it's a good thing I like it leave everything to the last minute because it's exactly what I have done. Some things never change.

 

 I'm sure you will also notice that I have one toe nail painted black. I'll finally remember tomorrow to take it off 😊.
