Rio to Paraty - 19th Oct

This day was spent in the fully equipped truck as we travelled along the beautiful coast line of Rio to Paraty, a few KM south from the city.
~I can honestly say that i´ve never seen such a beautiful sight in all my lifte for 3 whole hours! We crossed some really bad towns full of shanty houses but the colours of the materials theyy used made it look so vibrant still.
There were mountains after mountains of one side of the road, covered in lush forest and bright flowers. The other side of the road was the blue sea and while beaches lined by modern houses owned by rich business men and their yachts!

We arrived in Paraty which seems to be a slowly developing town. there are very modern homes and buildings right next to very old concrete shells that are being squatted in, it looks so varied.

the Hostel we´re staying in looks like it should actually be in Holland! everything is wooden and really quaint hehe. The food is fantastic and i´ts actually a better quality than the first hotel we stayed in.
