Wednesday 18 th April  no 12
Well what a great day,we rushed thru breakfast which did not start til 8-30am and  we were picked up by bus at 9-30 by dodgie brothers tours(should have been 9 am)
After driving around Buzious for 1hour looking for clients ,in little posadas,in hidden locations and  then driven for an hour to a port.Many clients were unhappy as they had to wait up to two hours for the dogie brothers bus
After reaching the fishing dock, we embarked on a  schooner and set sail (well started the diesel motors) we put puttied along the bay the day was clear and the sun very strong it is now 11-45am ,next we arrive at a beautiful secluded beach ,where Vic a I hopped on a dinghy and went a shore for a swim.there must have been about 100 people on this "very  secluded"beach.

Nina a Bruno and Erica stayed on board as Erica was felling poorly, Vic and I had a beaut swim when the time came to return, we did not know which dingy to catch most of the people spoke Portuguese or spanish and did not speak a word of English so out came our charades and we made it back on board.
Next we came to a bay where we were supposed to see turtles and dolphins but again they avoided us, we we just dived overboard and swam, the water was cool and clear.Erica was feeling a little better as they were serving free caparines  (lime alcohol drink) it was delicious, but very powerful.
It is now 3-30pm we are ready for lunch ,so we set of to a self serve cafe fill our plates .Then  back on the bus we stop at a Fort built in the 1600s to ward of the Spanish  then off to the famous bikini street where there is over 200shops selling bikinis all colours and shapes  ,just enough to cover the private bits,I didn't have a chance no enough material  for my size.
We were dropped of at the market place at7 -30 pm said good bye to dodgie Brothers and the many people we met they were quite fun, as they tried to understand us and we them. we bought a couple of bottles of chile wine and walked back to our Pausada. Had a quick shower and was sitting down to dinner at9pm  had spaghetti marinara .
Back in our room as 10 30 pm and absolutely buggered.
Tomorrow we head for the hills our coast trip is now over
To Petropolis and the cool of the mountains
