Buzios, Brazil

 

Buzios

We left Rio in the early afternoon and three hours in the sun had already reached this renowned tourist destination. Already coming in the first periphery of the country we realized that we are in a small paradise, on the right and left of the road stood luxury villas with swimming pool that had thinning as we approached the center of Buzios. The bus did not go into a real station just beside the road under a tin roof. We were initially off by the many owners of Posada awaiting the arrival of tourists to poterseli WILLINHOLLY: our trust has been placed on a kid from the Argentine side average honest we proposed a luxurious accommodation (although a bit off-center) to a price more than reasonable. Rose in his off-road led us up on top of a hill overlooking the city center and right there on top stood on his posada. It was a new building in brick and wood with a green garden in the center of which was located a swimming pool, the place was really beautiful and also included a full breakfast but above all the price was competitive to say the least: it just right case our. Once placed the backpacks in the room we are down to collect information from our Argentine friend and then we were directed towards the center. From now on we understood that despite Buzios is not very big, it was necessary to half of our alternative transport legs twenty-three to visit the beaches that made it famous throughout the world. We are off to the city accompanied by the inevitable clouds and a fine drizzle and constant: it seemed that the bad weather had decided to spend the holidays with us and that Rio had been transferred to Buzios. The center of the country has revealed a small pearl, peaceful, orderly and clean with many small shops along the main road and a promenade that despite the inclement weather does not totally lost its charm. After a brief patrol was already time to go back in the evening as it was on us and on foot we are on the reverse and lifts up the hill to our posada. Right time for a shower and it was already time to go back to town ... the road was beginning already to be too long. For our dinner we chose a pizza Classicissima cut and then make two passes along the deserted main street desolatamente: we were told that Buzios was a very dangerous and not quiet but began to doubt that it was well too.

The following day, our goal was to hire a buggy to explore Buzios; fact that, after two brief talk with our landlord was to give him a wrench until a car rental agency that we discovered later be his brother. We could choose between a scassatissima Palio and an avalanche of buggy by different colors; taken perhaps by emotion to drive something different than the usual car we opted for a buggy giallissima no windows and a roof placed in plastic which gave the impression of having to disconnect at any moment. With hindsight we can not even understand why we chose the grinder especially when considering the precarious situations weather ... crazy! Aboard, we proceed directly to a nearby beach but not the time to set in motion and began to rain, which forced us to return home, as if not more, luck had wanted in the middle of the route of the wire 'accelerator decided to break and leave again walk in the rain. We had rented the car for five minutes and there were already repented. Among the parked across the street we are returned to the posada to denounce what happened and call for a replacement car. No problem our Argentine friend has brought us to the agency that has proposed two options: rent a car for an hour in place of classical buggy that in the meantime would have been repaired, or waiting for repair since the grinder to get the money back is not even speaking. We did not want to lose any more time and board the scassatissima Palio, messaci currently available, we were directed toward the center in search of a laundry. The rain, the one-way streets and the difficulty in finding a simple laundry that we have at our disposal quell'oretta it went very quickly and so we returned by the renter recovered our buggy and with a new accelerator could still do his dirty work. Fortunately the rain had stopped but now it was done too late to start a tour around Buzios, the only alternative was to return home and then concentrate in the night. Despite the incessant rain we decided to go to dinner with our sportivissima car for at least spare the boredom and fatigue of the journey. Leaving the gate, we also met another guest of the posada, strictly Argentine, who after a chat he decided to drive well invite us to dine. Reached the center and consumed a hot dog volgarissimo, Ignatius (the new Argentine friend) has recommended a fashionable clubs to spend the evening, to be honest it was the only local open after 23:30 and then was a choice. After walking a poo on the streets of downtown we decided to enter this notorious local initially housed fewer people, but within minutes it was literally filled. We were in it for three good hour sipping a caipirinha Classicissima listening to Western music after that, recovered our half we are back in posada for a deserved rest.

For yet another morning we were greeted by clouds and rain but heartened by a Lauta breakfast, pending an improvement in weather that has occurred at least partially in the afternoon. We have not lost a second to go up and buggy nell'arrugginito finally starting to explore the outskirts of Buzios. We started visiting the nearby beaches, the true and proper angles of paradise embellished over so many statues in bronze, some of them positioned in the middle of the sea. We then pushed towards the outside, climbing along the numerous hills overlooking the sea to rise up in the highest of them, from where it was possible to get a total view of the entire country. Buzios seen from above was even more beautiful, it seemed almost a newly painted with the vivid colors of the sea and green hills dotted here and there by some house, a postcard surprising that even the bad weather has managed to obscure. Returned from our trip in buggy we again directed towards the center to the usual pizza and after a short walk digestive came forward to returning the vehicle. Again we returned on foot, with the necessary calm to the posada to start making bags since the day after we would be allocated for new goals. The next day, in the late afternoon, we boarded back on to Rio de Janeiro leg of call must for our next destination: Ouro Preto.
