Took a 1 1/2 hour local ferry then a 2 hour local bus ride to reach Paraty. Not a good trip to take when you don´t feel well, thank goodness for Maxalon. Arrived in Paraty around 3pm and found a place to have lunch. We then walked around the old town for the rest of the afternoon. Paraty is a historical village founded in the 1700´s. We walked up and down the cobble stone streets and took photos of the colourful buildings, churches and boats. Had dinner at a very nice thai restaurant. Went on a tour of the area to some waterfalls where some of the people from the tour had a slide down the rocks into the pool at the bottom. We also visited an alambique distillery where they did some tasting. I (Cat) am giving my body a break from alcohol for a couple of days. We stopped at a restaurant and had Fejuada for lunch. It is a traditional Brazilian dish made from beans, sausage and pork off cuts. We then visited a 17th century farm which also included a distillery. We finished the day watching a capoira display. They called up a few of our group to join in at the end and David did so well they put him up against the Master.

That I want to see video of!!!! David & the Caporia master!!!
Glad to hear you're into the caipirinhas and feijoada. From your descriptions of taxi and bus rides in Rio,seems nothing has changed in Brazil! By now you have probably passed "our" beach - Praia de Juquei on the Litoral Norte of Sao Paulo (50km south of Sao Sebastiao)where we had a weekend house. Que saudades! Had Bushcare on Sat. Reg brought a print out of your trip so far. Hope to see David doing capoeira! Anna
