So I wish I can put more pictures up but I havent found a cafe that will allow me to through my disc, anyhow I have lots to share so I will once I find the right cafe or hostel. Ilha Grande is absolutley amazing, by far one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in the world. The bus ride from Rio took about 3 hours south, then you board a ferry for about 2 hours, until you get to this marvelous island. My dumb ass, so excited to get on the cool boat, that I totally eat shit while boarding the boat and almost fell down the gap. Thank goodness for the porter that caught me, other wise I would have had more that a few scratches and a swollen/bruised shin. The ride was breathtaking, the rainforest was so lush and green with puple flowers everywhere. The water was tri-colored and looked so inviting. We were listening to some Brasilian island beats on our way there and the ambiance was grrrreat. I knew this was gonna be a special trip. Oh yeah there was a super hottie on my bus and then the same one on my ferry, but I´ll fill you in later.

Immediatley upon arrival we were greeted by Fred the owner of the dopest hostel on the island, AQUARIO. My room was stepps to the sand, we had a full bar, big common area, and a natural huge pool with fish and sea life in it. But then again we were surrounded by the calm ocean as well. Damn this island is paradise!! So of course we get in the water right away, while getting out we all noticed that we were bleeding. I guess while getting out the barnacles and coral had caught us up, and of course it was already on my injured shin and also on my right arm. Damn it sucked and hurt.

Our hostel was the shit!! Everyone on the island would come to party there, one night we had a huge dance party; BBQ, DJ, bar and all. It was ausome and this was the night I hooked up with my cute English boy. I feel like a molester cause he was only 19, but he was oh so beautiful and that accent just made me quiver. So charming and intelligent. All we did was make out, and some chick that was rooming with me had to be a twat blocker and ruin our mood. It got to the point where he actually had to tell her that he wasnt interested in her and he was chillin with me. She finally got the picture, but the more she got drunk the harder time she would give us. It was a definite downer. But I still had fun. Soon as I can post pics I will show you the pictures of him and I, girls you´ll love him.

We had a really good crew going at our hostel on the island, about 15+ of us that would always party together. We named ourselves IGM, Ilha Grande Massive...lol This island was crazy, there must be a love bug biting all of us, maybe that wil explain the plethera of bug bites on my legs. Hate those damn bugs. Anyhow, everyone was hooking up with everyone on this island, especially these two cute lil french girls. They made there rounds with at least 3 different guys. So I guess I like English Men, must be the charm cause when Christian left I ended up hooking up with another. Sorry girls, no sex once again! But he sure knew how to pleasure a lady...hmmmmm

So not everthing was all hook ups and partying. I actually hiked to a few different beaches and laid out a lot. You would have to jump in the ocean every 15 minutes cause the sun was so damn hot!! The beaches here are so beautiful, the sand hurts a little it feels like rice, uncooked of course. We also went on a very excruciating 3-4 hour hike all over the island. We checked out some old prison that used to inhabit prisoners way back in the day. Went to a couple mini lagoons up in the rain forest with small rock slides. And my favorite part, the natural waterfalls. The water was so fresh and cold and it was encompassed by a few lil pools. There was lots of people chilling here and some even repelling down the fall with the proper mountain climbing equipment. I will soon upload the photos. Once again with my luck, I hurt the same damn shin, not to bad just slipped on a rock and hurt the current bruise. Those water falls are strong, almost knocked my bikini right off.

So leaving the island we were all hung over, me and my new travel buddies. Matt and Tammy from England and Thomas and Chris from Cali...Westtttt Siiiiiide!!! Next stop Floripa, oops no!! We decided to go to Paratay first for a few days.
