You are here: home > my Brasil > My Ilha Grande

<-Previous Next->

And finally this crazy rio trip is over.. Rio carnaval will always be in my memory as a dark (
i. I didnt see daylight much,
ii. it is better if some of the facts there stay in the dark =P
)
crazy fun and limitless fiesta..

But now it is some time to relax, even after the gorgeous Praia Forno in Arraial de Cabo.. Soo what a better place to go other than an island... i am headed for ilha grande, as its name implies, it is a huge island, famous for its 102 beaches !!!! =)... First of all the boat that will take us, and then the places the boat will take us through!!!

After all these cute views, finally the place the boat will take us to... Welcome to Jurassic Park ( oops too much in the mood, excuse me,,, Ilha Grande)!!!!

At least it is a jurassic park for the palm trees though!!!

And first day is over =))... I know, it was not my first priority to immediately take pictures as soon as I arrived to the island obviously... First I needed to check around, security, beauty, etc. =).. Soo second day, I am headed for the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life until now... Praia Lopes Mendes... For going to Lopez Mendez, you will have to put on your sunscreen and insect repellents on and with your slippers (you dont want wet shoes with sand from the beach), you should walk this hike through mountains and forests for a non-stop 2.5 hours!!!! The first picture will give you a better idea about the road =).. The others will give a better idea about the mountains =) (and the beautiful views the mountain provides of course =)... Anyways, dont get deceived most of the road is like photo 1, and you lucky guys are getting the rare views from your chair =)

On our way to Lopez Mendez, there are a bunch of other beaches too, the most famous of it being Praia das Palmas.. Why is it called that way? Make a guess, or look at the second picture carefully, or skip to the other batch of pictures...

For the second picture, it is brazil, it has to be cool right =)? For the third, what can I say I like side effects of sun, the reflection from the bottom of the sea on the boat... For the last one, I like the side effects of the sun, no explanation necessary!!!!

And finally we arrive at Praia Lopes Mendes, first I am tired, and then I notice that I am finally there,,,, annndddd ,,,, you know =)

Yes, it is the most gorgeous beach I have seen in my life because:

1. Look at the change of the color in the first picture

2. Try to have an idea about its size from the same picture

3. Look at the other direction from the rocks in the other picture

4. Look at the color which is always in front of your eyes just down below when you are swimming

5. Look at the how cool guys you can find in the praia =)

6. Look how the island close by fits perfectly to the picture

7. Look at how the waves for different whites at the same time around different layers, and the nonstop collection of this beauty by the beach

8. Look at how the waves are constantly silent in some port of the beach

9. Roaring lion king in some other parts,

10. Can even be used for surfists still in some other part

11. Imagine how those separate parts are perfect within themselves but fit perfectly to the last picture with this huge beach

12. Imagine seeing those rocks forming another forms of waves between the sea

13. Remember your childhood castles

14. Dream putting your feet onto this warm sand so close by cool waters

15. And imagine watching that damn gorgeous island instead of me there

16. Remember the gorgeous color

17. Put this picture that perfectly explains beach spirit of brazil into your mind...

18. You still didnt buy your flight ticket ??? =)

Yes, and it is our way back from Lopes Mendes, of course I will not skip gorgeous views this time too....

Yeah and let me guide you about this picture.. It is palm trees in the sunset. =)

And for the second picture, in brazil travestites are serious problem, they walk out around the night stop the cars for free sex and then if they cant find they look for another car, soo you have to be careful while driving in the night for travestites, it is what it says in portuguese =P
