From the Pantanal we went down to a town called Bonito to swim with the fish in the towns crystal clear rivers. Unfortunately no one told the weather gods to be kind to us so for the first time we actually missed out on an activity due to inclement weather!
So it was off to Ille de Mel (the honey island) on the east coast of Brazil. 26 hours of buses, buses and finally a boat were hell on earth with the only highlight being the most delicious piece of street meat ever discovered!
Isla de Mel is a tropical island like the ones in the movie The Beach with no cars, beautiful beaches and lots of jungle. We spent 3 nights in seperate dorms, as we where trying to economise. This led to some serious sense of humour failures from both parties as we are now grown ups and not school children.
We did lots of walking around the island and loads of swimming and snorkelling. I do admit that one of the days might have been a right off due to a bottle of vodka called {nasty} Natasha. Only costing 4 dollars - no wonder the head hurt so much....
One evening out was made more adventurous by a torrential down pour, the Brazil wet season doesn't lie it's certainly wet. To think in the first half of the trip I was really missing the rain...
