Illha Grande, what a lovely Island!

My trip continued to further south of Brazil and came to an island named Illha Grande. It is an amazingly beautiful place to be, has a look of those islands you see only in movies but this is not plastic at all, in fact it is so real anyone who has an eye for nature would simply love it. The boat ride we had to get to the island was a very pleasant and beautiful one, the natural beauty around is spectacular. It falls within Rio de Janeiro Region in Brazil and a very special one. We had some lovely dining at a buffet place which was quite cheap but was great. The place we stayed was very artistic and had a bungalow kind of look. I met 6 to-be-practicing doctors from London and they were very nice, all had some Asian background/ ethnicity and are very successful young people. We had few incidents among some of the people in the tour but all came to normal at the end. We had a boat party for almost entire day, the food was so good and we had so much fun! I made quite a few new friends. I took another mini attempt to see the sunrise this morning but was not motivated enough so, I missed it again and went back to sleep after being awake this morning. We had a boat ride and a bus ride to go to our next destination, named Paraty. I am writing from Paraty now, it is a beautiful colonial city with cobble stone and brick roads, gives muscle exercise to the ankle and feet. We are doing a 6 hrs jeep tour tomorrow, so will write more later. BTW, will try to see the sunrise again tomorrow.
