Today, we left Paraty to head for Ilha Grande, which we could only get to by boat. The boat was a speedboat, and we had to pile our bags up down the middle of the boat! Vladd was a pro at this!
For lunch, we went to the beach front and shared a traditional fish stew called Moqueca.
Vlad then took us on a small walk to see the black beach (due to the colour of the sand) and also the old prison. Paraty was know to buy African slaves from the French and that is why there is a large population of African Brazilians here on the island.
For dinner, we found this amazing little Mexican place, where they make everything from scratch. Had a burrito, and it was so good!
