Brazilian Beaches - Paradise found

After leaving São Paulo on a 7 hours bus ride to Paraty, we arrived at 11pm in the pouring rain. Finding our hostel was easy. We asked a guy a the bus station for a taxi to the hostel and he nicely told us it was just around the corner and we could walk it. Apparently not all backpackers are so lucky 'cause some taxis actually drive them to the hostel but not before they drive them around town first! Yikes.
We spend the next day chillin' at the hostel as the rains still came down but managed to see the beautiful colonial town complete with cobble stone streets, quaint shops and great little restaurants in the later afternoon when the clouds began to roll away. When they did, wow, look out white boys! Muy caliente!
Pablo, our welcoming host at the hostel, made a feast of a breakfast every morning for the guests-so we stayed the extra night;) The next day we hopped on the bus again (only 2 1/2hrs) to catch a ferry (1 1/2hrs) to Ilha Grande. Yes, you guessed it, an island. Whoot whoot!
Ilha Grande is Brazil's most famous island just 2 1/2 hrs south of Rio de Janeiro. It has 192 beaches and most say, some of the best beaches in Brazil. I'm sold:) Looks like we may stay longer than we intended...
