Following our adventure to Paradise we woke up to prepare for a Boat Party along with another tour of Gap adventurers. The morning was a bit cloudy but it soon cleared up. The boat party consisted of free Caiprinha’s, which is the national (alcoholic) drink of Brazil and also a free barbeque. We headed off on the boat to take in the scenery and the sun began to come out. The water was crystal clear and plenty of fish were about. Tom went in to try and swim among the fish but he soon scared them off!! We tasted Caiprinha’s on our first night in Rio but didn’t like them but after we had a few on the boat we were flying it. The music was pumping and we mingled amongst the other group. The other group were taking the opposite tour from ours in that they started in Argentina and ended in Brazil so it was interesting to hear their views on this. The other Gap tour was full of Irish.
We were dancing away to the Samba and mingling before the sun went down and we stumbled off the boat…quite literally. Even after we came off the boat we still felt like we were swaying from side to side…this was the effect of the Ocean and not the Caprinha’s…well maybe a little. We had a quick bite to eat and hit the hay early as we were leaving Ilhe Grande in the morning.
