Buzios, Brazil



We paid $15 each for a 2-3 hour tour with what we thought was an English speaking cab driver, however, something was lost in the translation and we got an English speaking tour rep who gave us a non-English speaking cab driver. We found this out before we got in the cab and Bea offered to try to translate if she could and told the tour rep he could compensate her instead. Laughing joke. :)
I had already been on a Spanish/Portugese tour in Salvador De Bahia, Brazil and had come to realize that I cannot understand half of what is being said. The cab driver encouraged us to get in the Cab by saying that he would take us to two places that most other tours don't go. So we agreed. The photo above with my mom and I is one of the two places. It looks like a backdrop on many ships, but it is really an alley way to the ocean and our ship just happens to be right in the center. It was actually quite pretty. He took us to many of Buzios beaches and in the end we enjoyed the tour very much.
