The weather over the past few days has been fairly bad. Escaping a wet Rio, the first stop on our Southern Cross lead us to Ilha Grande. An Island off the coast of Rio, picturesque, lots of wildlife, beautiful mountain walks, magnificent beeches, lots of rain.
We cancelled our boat trip and took a hike across a small section of the island instead. Through the mist and the heavy downpours (it was warm) there was some lovely scenery, an old prison and a few beaches to explore.
We had a couple of nice days with a local cooking a barbeque complete with Caparinhas. (Local firewater with lime, sugar and ice). Our biggest problem was getting our clothes dry in the humid & cool hotel (?) rooms but it turned really sunny the day we left the island for the seaside town of Paraty..
