The house in
Ferrugem was a fantastic place to chill out at for a couple of days. The house was situated half way up one of the hills in the area, which gave us a beautiful view down across a near by lake. From the house we could easily walk to the beach, shops,
restaurants, and bars, which was ideal. It was nice to have a bit of a break from the bikes.
Alex left us after a few days to head back to London. Soon after the arrival of
Livi G, Liv Mac, and Simon saw the house full again. It was really good having a bunch of mates around to lounge about with...drinking beers on the terrace. Long days where spent at the beach swimming, surfing, drinking and playing ´
tuk tuk´, a popular game in South America with wooden paddles and a small rubber ball.
The near by fishing town named
Garopaba was only a quick bus ride from where we were staying. Here everyone was able to do a bit more shopping both for themselves and for family and friends back home. The beach at
Garopaba did not have the waves that where back at
Ferrugem, instead the calm water
offered visitors the chance to go
skiing, sailing or do other boating activities. The eastern end of the beach was lined with wooded boat sheds, and some small houses. It was quite amazing how close to the waters edge they were built!
Time spent down at the
Ferrugem house was a nice a relaxing time, and was a great intro to the
Brazilian coast, as we got ready to head up to Rio
de Janerio for Carnival!
