So we knew it was going to happen sooner or later and we probably really didnt want it to happen here but we got sick! Tummy bugs and colds hit us and it over shadowed our stay in BA slightly. Lets just say we didnt really experience the infamous nightlife it had to offer! However on the days when we are feeling better we managed to visit the Evita Balcony, grave and Museum, see the stadium in La Boca, watched street tango in colourful Caminito, visit the Recoll...

So after a relaxing stay on Ilha Grande including a trip to Lopez Mendez we jumped on a cargo-esque style fishing boat for 1/4 of thé price and began the journey back to the mainland. Once there we jumped on another bus to take the 2hour trip to Paraty only this time the bus wasnt a reclining seat job but more like a rigid seat - feel every bump - yellow bus but we managed to cram ourselves into the seats with our backpacks and sit tight till we reached our dest...
