After Rio, I went to Ihla Grande. It is a small, undeveloped island about a 45 minute boat ride from the mainland. No cars, no ATMs (no donkeys either, it ain't Lamu!) but a great place to chill and literally do nothing than rest and read. The beaches were very pretty and the island is mainly rainforest, so a good nature dose for a city dweller.
The weather was a little rainy, but the lovely warm rain that is quite pleasant to walk through. It was a good chance to catch up on sleep and reading.....am still on the same book I was reading in July! There was a beautiful cloudy mist on the hills and there was no sense of urgency or busyness. My daily plan was to find a good cafe to sit in to read and drink a beer and perhaps eat a few Brazilian snacks. Lush!
