honeymoon in brazil!



the tickets are booked! we are flying to rio the day after our wedding for 2 weeks! a little bit of city, a little bit of giant waterfall and a lot of beach. we wanted to go someone where neither of us had been and somewhere were we could explore and relax. I think brazil will work just fine.

anyone been there? any great suggestions? what not to miss? what food to eat? usually I am in charge of travel as grant doesn't handle online forms and airports quite as well, but he is helping with this trip (he must!) AND he is booking the honeymoon night all by himself. I am so proud of him.

I have a couple of students at the University who are from Brazil. I will do some research for you...

Here is the advice that one of my Brazillian students offered: "Rio is a tourist-centered town, so it will be easy to navigate. Since I don't like tourist traps and super crowded places, I would recommend that if they need a break from Rio, to drive or take the bus to Parati, Angra dos Reis, and Ilhabela. Out of the three, Parati would be my first choice, as it is one of Brazil's oldest preserved towns, many of the buildings are made of soap-stone, and the road to it is rainforest on one side, ocean on the other."

Hope it helps!
