ola! well it has been an interesting few days what with being offered to do an interview on Brazilian TV and rejecting sexual advances from a 4 foot hobbit but it as definitely been relaxing!! Finally left the hostel from hell and moved to the eastern side of the island in Plaia de arcaçia which is so much better. The hostel is right on the beach which is great but it has been ruined somewhat by the aussie hobbit creep who is a permanent resident and an absolute sleazeball! Was going to stay 2 days longer here but have decided to head to Rio earlier to meet the Irish girls before Paula comes. It has been so nice to stop for a few days but I am ready to travel again now and am so excited about getting to Rio! Have an 18 hour bus ride tomorrow - can´t wait! and will get to Rio on Tuesday morning. Not gone much to write as I have done absolutely nothing - it´s a hard life! x
