Travel Day - Foz to Paraty

Parati Travel Blog › entry 124 of 177 › view all entries

This was an 8 month overland extravaganza - from Peru, working around in a loop to Venezuela via Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Some was on GAP Adventures trips, other sections were independent - our biggest trip yet! Highlight was Melissa getting to visit her Uruguayan host family, from her year as an AFS exchange student in 1987 - the first time we'd been together in 21 years! (Also a fabulous 4 days in LA on the way home, shop away!)

Travel Day - Foz to Paraty

Long day today, left the hotel at around noon for our 1.30pm flight to Sao Paolo.  Flight took abuot 1 hour 20 minutes with Tam, and got a sandwich and drink, plus an interesting magazine to read, so pretty happy!  The bus from the airport to Paraty, about a 5 hour drive away, took a bit longer.  The road is very windy and goes across a mountain range to the coast, and as it got dark couldnĀ“t see much until the coastal lights appeared - very pretty.  As soon as we arrived at our hotel (gorgeous, Laguna Blue) we walked the 1km into town for dinner at a per kilo restaurant.  It was a bit ordinary, probably because it was quite late, so the food was cold and not very fresh looking.  We then walked into the old town and spent a couple of hours at Che Bar drinking caipirinhas.  Noel and Melissa enjoyed this drink mightily, however our budget did not and the room was spinning when we lay down afterwards!!
