I woke up early and got swept away to Ilha Grande, a tropical Island paradise. I was pretty dazed on my way, always slightly worried I'd fucked something up and was about to get lost. I did realise I hadn't screencapped or saved a map and had no idea how to get to my hostel once I arrived. Eventually I did arrive and just went to a random hostel and used their internet. All things are possible.

I've shelled out the big bucks ($53 a night) and rented a private room - looks like I'm the only one at the hostel so maybe it was wasted money? I continue to learn. Card didn't go through on first attempt at paying so we may yet be in the clear.

I spent the morning after arriving milling about the left hand side of the town, sitting on beaches, reading, thinking, looking at things. Finally, the perfect vacation.
