Hop those islands

On a brighter note, Bahia also boasts beautiful beautiful places. In particular, its islands! There are 56 islands dotted around the bay and yesterday we hopped on a tour boat and visited two of them.

I took a pill to help with seasickness....... one of the side effects? Drowsiness.....! So there I was, attempting to enjoy my boat trip and instead, falling asleep EVERYWHERE. I did get up to dance samba, in front of the whole boat..... a possible other side-effect = delusional?! Ha.
I fell asleep in the cabin at one point and was woken up by the musicians standing over me, wondering what this strange creature was doing sleeping instead of taking advantage of the beautiful scenery... Damn that pill!!

Islands visited:

Ilha dos Frades (Monk island) = 70 inhabitants, beautiful beach, run-down church and mango trees!! You know you're in Brazil when you can pick up mangos from the floor and eat them without a care in the world. YUM!














Ilha de Itaparica = 70,000 inhabitants, beautiful beaches! Horse riding on the beach, delicious lunch and siesta in a hammock. Perfect afternoon.
