OK ............here we go.....ROAD TRIIIIIIP.......
Yesterday Hannah and I went off with our mate Pedro firstly along the coast to Araruama, which is the town behind the next lot of lagoons, and then on to Arraial do Cabo, the easterly point of land on the corner before the coast heads northwards past Cabo Frio and then on for thousands of miles up past Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza, Natal and beyond until eventually reaching the mouth of the Amazon. We didn't go that far yesterday as we had to be back in time for tea. So we just went as far as Cabo Frio.

So the first pic shows Arraial do Cabo which is absolutely beautiful.
Second pic is from further out.....that's where my head is at man......showing Arraial, behind is Cabo Frio, and if you get on the beach on the left in a Cobra (dune buggy) and let the tyres down to 8 kg per cc, and drive very fast, and don't stop (even if you break down), you end up in Saquarema at the bridge below the church. But don't stop or you sink.
This third pic shows the map view of the stretch from Cabo and Arraial through Araruama to Saquarema.

And here a map view of Arraial and on the far right is the island owned by the Navy, accessible only with a free permit and a sound system or mobile bar.
Below a pic from above Arraial do Cabo......Nice!!
Here remote beaches and headfuck house on the rocks, right opposite the Naval owned island and that beach.
Posted by Picasa Oh, and some cactussis. There are a lot of cactussis. Because it never ever rains here. And it's nearly always sunny (except when we were there). And a gentle sea breeze blows constantly (except when we were there) (.....it was a howling gale. ) Arraial is possibly the perfect palce to live. Oh, and did I mention the mosquitos there????

There aren't any.

Which would be good news for them at least.
