Buh bye, Floripa
View image

Damn, where do I begin. Well lets put it this way, I definately saved the best for last in terms of my travels in Brasil. Thanks Kim Cover for giving me the heads up on this place, it was the absolute best. Arriving with my friend Rita, we planned on staying only 8 days, well her stay turned into 2 weeks and my stay turned into a lil over three weeks. Florianopolis or what most call Floripa, is on the Island of SAnta Caterina. The island inhabits 42 beautiful beaches, great shopping, delicous restaraunts, and a excellent night life.

Rita and I were stayin in Barra Do Lagoa, a really cute beach town with tons of houses to rent for cheap also home to The Backpackers share house. One night in the hostel was enough for us, lots of fun partying but renting a house is the way to go and it is cheaper. We rented a cute little 2 bedroom house, which we labeld Grandmas house or more so the Ginger Bread House. Tammy my friend I have been travleing with since Ilha Grande later joined us and the three of us had a grand time once again re-united, sorry boys but we just have so much fun together. The boys we travel with Matt, Chris, and T-moss left a couple days after. So it was us three again solo, wooohooo!!

Most of our beach days were spent at Mocambique, the longest beach on the island, thus our backyard. There we would swim, surf, explore, and tan our asses for hours. We met so many interesting people on the beach, as well as made some good friends. Most of my time in Floripa was spent with Glen, an Aussie who I fell for. Initially I dislike him and thought he was a rude, abnoxious, cocky bastard hanging with his Finish buddy Patrick always fucked up as all hell. But a few days later sparks flew between us and we lived together for three weeks. Crazy, something I would never do, but it was something out of my control. I can go on an on about us, but I dont want to bore you.

Anyhow, the beaches are spectacular, but we always got sucked into out beach Mocambique or the private little beach next to it, which soon became mine and Glen´s backyard. We often would get on the bus to Pria Mole, I had never seen so many beautiful people in my life, the pictures will describe better than my words. We also went to Ghalleta, ausome surf and not to mention the only beach with the option to go nude. Glen and I also took a boat to the Ilha do Campeche, such a magnificent island, looks like a dream. We snorkeled in the cold water which felt great since the heat of the sun was so extreme. We drank beer, got a little pissed and ate some delicious lula (calamari). Glen and I rented a second house, way better than the first, it was steps to the beach and a 15 minute hike to the natural pools. The natural pool were beautiful and romantic. The rocks are a bit slippery and ruff, so it was some what difficult getting in and getting out with out hurting yourself. I fell ass over head into the water trying to get out, too funny.

At our beach house, Glen and I had the funniest, sweetest and most animated landlady. Her name is shirley and she is not embarressed to show a little skin. Probably pushing 60, she still is in good condition with her high rump and big ole boobs. Her husband was an asian man that we called Mr Miyagi, nice little dude. She was so sweet to us and cooked us a delicous fish dinner twice and did our laundry free of charge. But none of that compares to here personality and how funny she was when trying to communciate with us, all action and movements. Glen and I really enjoyed her.

The night life is ausome here, crawling with beautiful people and delicouse drinks like capifrutas, capetas, capirinas, almost all made with real fruit. My favorite club was El divino, very posh with good music. One thing I noticed about Brasilieras they can sure dance to the music of their own country but once the wheels of steel are on, they dont know how to shake it to hip hop, kinda funny.

I did so much here that I cant put it all down, but in short cooked many feasts for Glen and I, went out to some fantastic dinners, went to a skate/grafitti/hip hop event which was ausome, lots of clubs and bars, the beaches everyday, shopping, sight seeing, the cinema and Mackers with Gleb always, boat tour, parties with the backpackers at the boys party pad, made loads of new friends,etc. Check out the pictures.

So we werent going to follow our surfers to Ubatuba, but Leon´s man Camburinho (shelf ass) insisted that we go and hang out. We finally gave in and how happy we were that we did. Ubatuba is a reall cool city with great beaches, good surf. We scored again on a cute beach house and stayed there for 4 nights. Only bad thing was our landlady, whom we call CRAZY FAT MOFO, was nutz. She was always all up in our business, telling us to lock our doors and not to allow any boys in. I think she was more suspect cause we were always hanging with our surfer boys we met in Trinadade, and we went to a rowdy party directly across the street from us. Oh well shes lame, but that didnt stop our time in Ubatuba.

Unfortunately the first three days it rained heavily, but Camburinho made our stay wonderful. Him and his boys prepared us a delicous fish dinner and then we had some drinks and played some foosball and snooker (pool) at his pad. His place was real nice, total surfer hang out. It was exceptionally clean, he´s kind of obsessive compulsive about tidiness. This guy was an all around dope guy, he made our stay in Ubatuba the best ever. He introduced us to all his buddies, made us welcome in his cool bar, he even did my laundry for me, showed us Praia Grande (big beach, the beach we always hung out at) and let us all stay a t his pad on our final night making our stay 5 nights in total. Lucky Leona, this guy was so great but from the looks of it all the other girls in town though so themselves. This guy knew everybody, not just the ladies. He hooked us up left and right. It was definately hard to say goodbye to him, he had done so much for us. Thats the hard part of traveling, you cant get too attached.

As for my Brasilian boyfriend Andres, I found out 4 night into my trip that he has a girfriend. The nerve of him!!! Oh well it was fun while it lasted and he was still game for more, not I. I find it so crazy how all these men just cheat on their girls like it aint no thang, its very common for Brasilian men to have the freedom to do whatever they please. Granted most of their girlfriends are really young and dont care what they do so long as they have someone to marry in the end, and take care of them... some kind of life eh, I would never put up with that shit.

I met so many cute Brasilian girls, all freinds of Camburinho. These chicks are just knock outs and half of them surf. You boys would have loved watching them go off into the ocean in their little thongs and board under their arm. How the hell do they surf in those tiny kinis, I could barley swim in one with out the waves pulling top and bottom right off. So us girls did some mad shopping on these rainy days. I bought 4 cute new kinis for 25 real, with is about $10 American dollars, what a deal. We got some really great jewelery for so cheap, all hand crafted. Such nice earings for like a buck a piece, this shit would be like 25-40 a pair in the states. Amazing!!

We partied way too much in Ubatuba, our poor livers need a break. If we werent at Aqua Loa (Camburinhos bar) we were at the snooker bar or ROOTS, a dope reggae bar with a live band always. That one great thing I did in Ubatuba is catch some good live music. Brasilians love their music as do I.

My next stop is Florianopolis where we will stay for a week or two. I am here now on the island of Santa Caterina and it is just the bomb diggidy, so much to do. Our plans are besides the beach everyday, to go sandboarding, biking, surfing, hiking and some partying here and there, or more so...hehehehe.

Hopefully I will have some pics for you real soon dependent on how quickly my brother sends out my new digi now that I will be in one place for a longer time. So James, Im sending you the post office adress asap I needs to takes fotos!

So I have been fortunate enough to meet some really cool chicks here in Paraty. I have my cute lil London girl Tammi, whom I have been traveling with since Ilha Grande and now the two of us have picked up Rita, a cool girl from Upstate New York and three other English mates Naomi, Leona, and Jenny. The six of us are great togther. So a few of us went to Trinadade for the day. Its a really beautiful and cool surfer town surrounded by brilliant beaches and amazing eye candy. This town was definately made for females such as ourselves. We immediately fell in love with Trinadade and its inhabbitants. We decided to ditch our blokes in Paraty and have ourselves a girls weekend.

An incentive to this trip was the surf competition that was to be held and the arrival of all the hot pros, not to mention that Trinadade was already crawling with gorgeous Brasilian surfers. They are so fucking hot here it is disgusting. Sorry boys, this entry is for my girls and besides surprisingly Trinadade doesnt have that much women, just hot surfers for us travelers passing thru. Words can not describe the eye candy here. The men all have these amazing bodies, so tan, cut, and lean. The surfers here dont wear sungas (little speedo like shorts, or what my mates call BUDGGIE SMUGGLERS) instead they wear their cool and equally sexy board shorts. Just like my San Diego boys, they ride them just low enough to give us a glimpse of their tight bums and a peak at their chisled obliques. We cant stop talking about the backs here, the boys are just so sculpted, even the little 12 year old grommets are ripped here. They all dont speak any english but when you pass them by they say Oi (hello) and I love you, it is so cute how even the youngest of these surfers are all about us, they must train them early. Damn! These men have marvelous manly backs and arms and they all have amazing tatoos.

The six of us ladies scored a cute little beach house only steps to the sand, the ocean is our back yard. Its unbelievable how cheap we got this jewel for, it cost me about 22 real a night there, so that is about 9 American dollars a night per person. Our place is cute and we got some cool Aussie negihbors. After laying on the beach and working on our tans, swimming in the soothing ocean, we decided to treat ourselves to a fabulous seafood dinner. We ate moqueca frutos del mar. This brilliant seafood stew served over rice. Ours had calamari,shrimp, oysters, octopus, and all that good stuff. For my family members, this is just like mom´s famouse seafood stew she makes only mom´s blows it away, no one can top my mama´s phenomenal cooking. Anyhow, the moqueca was great and reminded me of home. After dinner we went back to our house and started making some capirinas and vodka/guarana (like vodka redbull). Vodka is so cheap here, we paid 4,50 real which is about $2 American dollars for a bottle of vodka. We then ventured off to a few bars on the beach and partied with the beautiful people of this town. It wasnt too busy of a night since the surfers were all probably preparing for their competion in the morn. Some of the girls went to bed early, well early meaning 230am. But Tammi and I met some hotties. Her a cute Argentinian and me a Brasiliero. My boy was very sweet and had a great body, besides surfing he also teaches FOJA and SAMBA. We talked and he taght me how to dance a bit. We made out for a bit and said our goodbyes once the sun began to rise. I had to at least get a few hours of sleep befor the competition. He wanted to see me again tomorrow, but I was like maybe because I know Saturday is just going to be a field day for us girls.

So the surf comp was supposed to start around 8am but the first heat didnt actually take off until about 2. The waves were just shit and by the second heat they cancelled the competition. Oh pooh, gues the surfers we´ll just have to be forced to party now. So while I was laying out with the girls we had spotted an exceptionally attractive group of surfers, not to mention the eye candy while we were laying out was just amazing, I was dumbfounded by the endless possibilites. While I was taking a dip in the ocean I noticed this super hot Brasiliero. He too was a surfer, had nice trunks but quickly pulled them off to sport his sungas, most surfers dont wear these, but it is the norm for Brasilians all wear these, same for girls with their thongs which might I add most of us ladies are now also going native and sporting semi thongs, the rio cut bikini bottoms. Gotta immerse yourself in the culture!! Anyhow this guy was smokin hot!! He swam near us then came over and began to talk to me. He asked where I was from, blah blabh blah, and before I know it we were invited to a BBQ with all his surfer friends that just so happened to be the gorgouse group of males we had been drooling over. There was at least 20 of them. This guy who we call WHITE PANTS cause his little white speedo shorts, is really named Ricardo. Us ladies made nick names for all these hotties we were admiring from afar. There was also FLAMEBOY who was so fuckin hot in his flame like trunks and then RED SHORTS who was gorgeous with his long blonde hair too bad he had and equally hot Brasiliera. Most of the girls fancied FLAME BOY and RED SHORTS but I was in aw of FLAMEBOY and WHITE PANTS.

So we get to the BBQ/camp site and entered heaven. The number just about doubled and we were surrounded by at least 30-40 hot ass surfers, many who were pros. Words can not describe the excitement running through our blood, all 6 of us had a perma grin and could not believe this moment. The men were all so friendly offering us drinks and steak, you can tell they were very pleased with us 6 gringas. They were just flutttering about and all wanting to talk to us. My friend Namoi started early and got her first kiss immediately when the guy we call the CRAZY PRO began to kiss her, she just went with it. Next up was Jenny and me. Flame Boy took a great liking to me and Ricardo to Jenny, well Ricardo to all of us as well, I couldn´t tell who this hottie was going to end up with he just wanted us all...lol. Wow, Andres (flame boy) but they all call him D. He is just brilliant and I cant believe I pulled him. He didnt speak a lik of english but I could understand and speak portuguese for us to get by. His buddy Gustavo (hot beard boy) kept telling me; MUH FRIEND LIKE YOU, HE WANT TO KISS YOU!! A bit shy at first, but after another drink I was more than okay with this. Andres may quite well be the hottest and most beautiful man I have ever gotten my hands on, ha and he,s only 21 but so full of life. And ladies, I did not let any part of him go to waste, I will send some of you the uncut version of my night with him. Anyhow, Rita pulled his hot ass buddy named Enrique. Rita and I laugh about our night, cause her and I were always side by side making out withour boys as though we were in high school again. From party to bar, beach to tent, we always ventured in the same spots with our men...lol too funny. Anyhow, no girl went empty handed this night. A few of my girls pulled two boys. Naomi ended her night with Rasta 1 or should I say Neguino (little black man), she keeps kiddin she wants a little chocolate baby like the one from the beach. Leona got the older hottie he owns a bar in Uba Tuba. Jenny got Ricardo and Rasta 2. Tammi pulled the hot dread head who can play the guitar beautifully. So us girls did very well for ourselves and were more than happy to gossip of our love fest with these boys. Not only are these men hot but from our collective consensaus, they are all very largely equipped. BEAUTIFUL!!! This was a wonderful night for us all and the 6 of us have definately bonded and fell in love with Trinidade and its men. Still cant believe it, but it was like a dream come true for us all. The majority of our boys left the next day since the comp was cancelled, they went to catch the big waves in Uba Tuba their stomping grounds. Our boys invited Rita and I to say in Uba Tuba with them for a few days, we initially were all for it but we later decided not to. Well now Andres is gone and I will never forget the beautiful experience I shared with him, damn I wish I could just take him back to the states with me...lol HEY LOOK MA, I CAUGHT ME A BRASILIAN !!! heheheheh What was planned to be a short two night stay has become a 5 night stay in Trinadade.

So I now have been in Paraty for 3 days, its an absolutely calm and beutiful fishing town surrounded by marvelous waters and many mountains. The people here are so extremely nice and very welcoming, smiling and starring as you pass. This town doesnt have as many tourists as Ilha Grande, and you get more of a Brasilian feel from it, I like that. We were all hung over on our way over here, with maybe only a couple of hourS of sleep, even less for some hard core partiers that I am traveling with (funny californians). Soon as we got here we checked into Ace Backpackers hostel for only 25 real, wich is about 10 American dollars a night. Sweet!! This town was so much more cheap than Ilha Grande, which is great for us cause I know we all spent a lil too much in Rio and Ilha Grande. Anyhow, it was a beutiful day and we didnt want to waste it by sleeping all day. Somehow we mangaged to get our tired asses to do a 3 hour hike.

We went to the Golden Trail up in the mountains to hike. It was our first time so none of us knew exactly how strenuous it was going to be, there was about 11 of us and the vast majority were in Havianas (Brasilian flip flops, they are so dope and cheap here, very popular in London from what I hear, Ill bring some back for a few peeps). Anyhow, befor the hike we went to these monstrous rocks that the locals go surfing on. These rocks have water running down them like small waterfalls so they are great for sliding, but you must be very careful and its best for a local to show ya how its done. We watched the Brasilians just scale these rocks against the grain (rushing water) with no problem what so ever, they did it quickly and didnt even fall. Once they reached the top they would run and slide on their bum down a few rocks, spinning around until they reached the pond below and gave us a huge splash, it was brillliant and we applauded them each time one of them would show off for us. Some of these brave guys would actually go down these mounds standing up, they call it rock surfing. I have no idea how they did it, but it was exciting and scary to see. A few of my friends slid down the rocks, I was to scared because of my injury on my shin, I didnt want to fuck with it anymore. They said it was absloutely exilerating, so fun.

The hike up the Golden Trail, a trail in the rain forest where the slaves used to hide gold in clay was really beautiful even though we were all huffing and puffing for bloody help on our way up. It was quite funny all of us hung over and tired doing this. Crazy!! Anyhow, we passes a lot of cow shit and some magic mushrooms, but we didnt take any, too scared. There was so many picturesque views and sights to see, it was amazing. About an hour into the hike we made it to the most amazing veiw point that over looked all of Paraty, its ocean and mountains. I got a good shot of it, however its on my disposable, not my digi. Continuing on with the trail you would pass by little houses inhabited by the local mountain people. They were so kind and friendly waving at us and smiling with their happy dogs trailing us. It is amazing how these people live so far up and so far from civilization. Yet at the same time they are in a mountain paradise. The trail was hard and lots of wasps were chasing after us, I didnt get injured (surprisingly) but a few of my buddies got some minor scrapes and stubbed toes. It was getting dark and we had to hussel to get to the top and enter the beautiful gate. Ahhhh Shhiiiit!!! We get to the top and the bloody gates are closed, it was a beautiful and healthy hike but we never got to enter the gates, oh well. We got down the mountain quickly and only were hiking in the dark for about 15 minutes, damn it was scary not being able to see. Two people had flash lights, but it didnt help much. Anywho, we got down alright,

We were exausted and took our showers and then treated ourselves to a nice candle lit Indian dinner in the historic down town area. I had a mango lassi and a chicken curry served in a pineapple. The food was delicous and the presentation was beautiful. We shared a few appetizers some nan and paneer and drank a few beers. This was top quality all for about 40 real each, which is about 16 US dollars. After we attempted to to go to the Chey Gabbara bar but it was closed and we went to a different dope little spot, great atmosphere and some funny ass people watching. There was this flamboyant tiny little old man about 70 just dancing all about. He was hillarious with his flashy rings and arm bracelets. He was wearing this retro 70s tight shirt tucked into some tight white capris with white keds and a these little tweety bird ankle socks. This guys was straight up comedy just dancing around, he was trashed. I dont know if it was blow or all the cashaska he was drinking but he looked as high as a kite, it was probably both. Anyhow, we left after one beer and went straight to bed.

The next day was just the best!! We went on this dope boat with about 50 people and sailed around from beach to beach and island to island for about 5 hours. The sun was so hot and we laid out on the deck. The musician on the boat was great, he played the guitar and sang over some speakers so the sound was great. Lots of Portuguese Ragga. We swam at every beach and snorkeled as well, saw some beautiful fish but nothing out of the norm. My favorite part was when I swam with a school of zebra looking fish, it was exciting. We tossed back a few beers and began diving and jumping of the boat and part of the mass. We were showing our London mates how to do cannon balls, jack knives, and such. It was so much fun and T-moss (cali buddy) was just hilarious. He is this really big guy, and so funny. He was doing these huge cannnon ball and spraying us all. It was muita bom (very good).

After that we cooked a feast at the hostel had some wine, and then partied are asses off in town, we danced with the Brasilians and had a really good time. After that we went to another bar and played some pool, or should I say some snooker (Brasilian pool). It was kind of frustrating cause I was drunk and the game is so damn backwards here. There is no stripes, you play off of even or odds. You dont have to call your shots and its okay to play slop. And of course the pool sticks had no tips, Miss Parker you would have been like WHAT THE FUCK DUDE!!...lol Anyhow time flew by and when we left the dark bar the sun was brightly shining, damn!! Straight to bed for me, the others were to cracked out to go to bed, but some how they manged to make omlettes...COMEDY!!!

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.
