Day 48 – Ilha Grande

Today, we went to Lopes Mendes Beach, it is rated one or the best beaches in the world. It is protected, so no buildings or boats are allowed near the beach. We had to get a speedboat to the opposite side of the island and hike across. The boat ride was about 30 minutes, and the hike was about the same. I’m so glad I wore my trainers as it was muddy and steep in places. Carlston didn’t and had to do it barefoot.

As we got the first boat out, there was only 5 people ahead of us so we had an empty beach to start the morning!

I dug myself a hole to sit in, within the shade of course, and read my book. I was joined by random dogs.. they seem to love me! And monkeys!!

We went back to the Mexican place for dinner, but it took hours!! Still great food though!
