Heading south

Eventually, I left for Ilha Bella with a Canadian girl, Kim. When we arrived there it was raining and the town looked deserted. Nobody there. It felt really akward and miserable. The island was charming but not as much as the previous one. Then I went to Florianopolis - about 12 hrs night trip 1100 km from Rio. On the bus I met a girl whom I met before in Paraty - so the stories that people follow each other and just bump into each other were true;-) I heard it´s amazing beautiful place but I have to say... it´s just ok. And it´s more Europe-like. The thing is that the south of Brazil is more like Europe than Brazil. So I wish I stayed longer in Rio and Ilha Grande which I loved but there´s no point in regreting it now. I met some interesting people in the hostel. Actually you mainly meet interetsting people: an American nice guy on exchange program in Brazil, an American girl travelling aftter she got divorced, a Colombian guy recovering after cancer treatment, a nice Canadian guy ridng South America on his motorbike. I bet I will bump into him lateron as we heading the same direction and places.
Tonight I go to Foz do Iguacu - famous waterfalls, 950 km from where I am now. It´s gonna be a night ride on a bus but buses are very comfortable here with bed-like seats so gonna be perfect.
