Hello again! Paraty is fast becoming a favourite with me, like Cusco its very old (no modern stuff here I tell you) & is typically what I think of when anyone says Brazil to me. The streets are lined with brightly coloured shops & homes, palm trees line every avenue & the streets are cobbled. Very quaint looking. I love it.

All we're doing tomorrow is travelling. We've got to take a bus from here to Sao Paulo again (yuk) which is 6 hours, then wait there for 3 hrs, then take another bus to Iguazzu falls which will go overnight for 16 hrs!!! Then we have like an hour before our days events begin again. Hurrah!

Helens ill today (her turn to suffer food poisioning, yuk) so gone off out in Paraty on my todd, now going to get some lunch then head off to the very appealing shops again. Update you all from the falls.

Love Kez xxx
