Paraty Party

So next was a short and sweet stay in Paraty.. A beautiful, colonial coastal town South of Rio (been reading The Lonely Planet much!)

We're guilty of not doing a lot here to be honest having only really passed through.. So mooched around with some pals we met on the bus, ate some cake and went to a beach..

It was apparently national ladies day yesterday, so we celebrated our womanly regions by drinking the worlds strongest cocktail, a Caprinha.  I genuinely think a couple of mouthfuls could blind you.. So we had a pint of it, because we're 'ard!

We saw lots of things going on around the streets come the weekend eve, our favourite was this guy buskin by making amazing paintings using only paint cans! We're pretty sure he was totally off his heed.. But we were half a Caprinha down and in no place to judge.

Today we saw a horse on the street! Just in your regular residential area, chowing down next a phone box like it was no thang.  I could have mounted it and rode off like a gipsy!........ Just realised how deeply upset I am with myself for not doing that..

So packo backo commenses again.. This time in prep for a 6 hour bus journey to São Paulo, a city that never sleeps 😳
