Motorbike ride to Rio Das Ostras Brazil We have been house-sitting for the past few weeks just north of Rio de Janeiro. I had expected to stay for the full two months, but situations changed. It was more remote than we had anticipated. There was also no one in town speaking English. The result […]
Marica Ponta Negra Barrio Brazil Ponta Negra (Black Point) is a cute little town off the Gringo trail. We have actually been staying here the for last few weeks (my blogs are behind).

Due to my foot injury, we’ve had two extra nights waiting to travel from Bonito to Campe Grande. Why We take A Mini Van This meant we are unable to go to the bus station and take a regular bus as I couldn’t hobble there, and the moto-taxis are motorbikes, which are useless with luggage. […]
After missing out on tasting the sugarcane wine yesterday, we decide that today will be a great day to visit the Taboa Cachaca Sugar Cane factory. Our Guest House Starting our day, we have another fabulous and HUGE breakfast at Catarino’s Guest House. The reason many travelers stay at this Guest House is just for […]
We walked down from the Balneario Municipal Park for our next adventure which is Tubing Down Waterfalls. Wrong Booking Time However, there is a small problem. We had been given the wrong time and so we missed our booking. We had already been charged for the experience at Catarino’s Guest House. They were wonderful, however, and booked […]
