| Juli looking down on Praia da Galheta - we didn't know it at the time but its a nudist beach. Which always means fat old naked men. |
So with Oktoberfest over I needed
a some beach time so on the 29th I headed to the famous beaches of Florianopolis
(Floripa for short) on Santa Catalina island.
Floripa is good, very very good actually and again as usual my planned
two or three days in one place ended up being fifteen days. I met a lot of people in hostels and went to many
of the 40 or so beaches. It was so good
that while speaking to Julia (who I met in Rosario) one day on skype, she
decided to fly out and take a holiday there at the same time. It was great to take time out and not need to travel hundreds
of kms a day and even more so to have some company.
Something that had not occurred
to me until now, but after zig sagging across the continent I have actually
travelled from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Not too shabby a trip I think. Having
the bike here has been a definite bonus and I think I have pretty much ridden
all over the island seeing some of the places that are not so easy to get to,
the south of the island especially.
Although now the bike is developing a bit of an oil leak that I’ll need
to fix soon. Anyway it can wait, there
is too much beach time to get in. Ok
picture time, there is a few, but I hope you like them.
