Brasil (Maresius, Trinidade, Ihla Grande)

Odair and his 'new' moto say their second goodbye
Shantytown enroute to Maresius
Looking down on Maresius
Check into Pousada Das Palmeras for a rest and a few games of chess
And take a walk through town
And take a walk through town
Back on the coastal road North
passing beautiful beach after beach

and cutting inland along rivers

100m and only 4 speed bumps, not bad for Brasil
Praia Grande
where i stop for an A_ai na Tigela
Waterfall enroute to Trinidade
Pulling into Trinidade I meet the Che Guevara gang
Daliro and Fabio, a couple revolutionaries from Rio playing weekend warrior

together we find a backyard to setup camp
A couple days on the beautiful beaches of Trinidade


admiring the women (from behind)
watching the kids play
A quick stop in Parati enroute to Ihla Grande
a historic town of cobbled streets
and a classic port to the sea
another stop enroute where some local soap opera was filmed
wave the two goodbye at the port town of Mangaratiba
where I find myself a Beach House to park my bike at while I off to Ihla Grande
Rainy morning ferry to Ihla Grande
Ihla Grande
I day hike to Lopez Beach with a couple Swedes from the hostel


Danger! Crocks!
Not so sure it lives up to its title as the best beach in Brasil
Another day hike across the island to a prison
along a scenic bamboo trail
with alot of beautiful flowers



and snails
Day 3 - The first real sunny day
A trip by boat to the Blue Lagoon


The return via Angra Dos Reis
