Bus laden plans...

We planned on taking the bus to bustling beach town Paraty. No seats left till the next day... So we went to Oro Preto instead!

11 hours on an overnight bus later,


I think it was worth it.



It's a former gold mining town full of pretty churches (none as gold as the one in Quito though) and surrounded by rolling green hills.



Throw in some delightful cafes, jewelry stores and



Pre-carnival drumming in the square outside our hostel window... Hard to beat.

One more day till Rio!
