Buzzing like you wouldn't believe we arrived in Rio at around 3.30. A half an hour taxi ride through some crazy traffic got us to the hostel. We were expecting a grimy s***hole, hostel world reviews were not good and the price was ridiculously cheap for carnival so we were expecting prices to get jacked up. Dispute all the pessimism things turned out all good. The price was right, which worked out a tenner a night which is properly the best priced hostel in r...

We Set off around 10am from Curitiba for a short two and a half hour bus ride. We arrived at the port where a boat leaves every hour paid 30 reals return which was cheap and set of to the island. We was buzzing the island only let's 3000 people on at one time and we were in, boom.
