Búzios

Beaches, parties and loads of sun!

sunny 30 °C

I wrote this post already 3 days ago, but we didn’t have any internet on the island, so I’m posting it now. A more up to date post will follow soon.

Actually this header would be enough to describe the 2 days I spent in Búzios, but I’ll give you some more details anyway.

I stayed in a very nice hostel. There were many other backpackers, so much better than in Rio! The staff was from Argentina and they were nice too.

The days I spent exploring the town and at the beaches and both nights I went out with some people from the hostel.
The highlights were Praia Brava, a really beautiful beach, not too busy and surrounded by green hills and very blue water, and a night at a Samba club, where a live Samba band was plying and they even gave dancing instructions, which most people were trying to follow on the dance floor. The fact that we went there with a group of Brazilians probably made this even more fun.

I also tried Açaí: Açaí berries are crushed into a kind of sorbet and then you eat them pure or with toppings like bananas and granola. It tastes really nice and refreshing, but unfortunately, like most tasty things, it seems to contain many many calories…

Now I am on my way to Ilha Grande. As you can guess this is an island. The island can only be reached by a 1 ½ hour ferry or boat ride and there are no cars on the island. There is only a very small town too; the rest of the island is only woods and beaches.
So I am looking forward to 2 days on the island and hope the weather stays as sunny as it finally is.

Hallo Nik,
ja, der Sand ist rosa dort. Hinten rosa, vorne gelb, ist ganz komisch. Das habe ich aber auch nur an diesem einen Strand gesehen.
