Floripa!!!

Finally, after about 2 years, I went to the beach again...

From Jan 2nd to 4th I was in Florianópolis with William. Both of us invited by Juliano and Simone who live there.

The only thing in the way was a 10-hour-long bus journey...

Leaving on Monday night, we arrived on Tuesday morning there. And off we went...

The first day was dedicated to the beaches. Since it was (obviously) impossible to visit them all, our guides recommended some...

Jurerê - basically we played beach volleyball and spent the rest of the time inside the water...

Joaquina - sandboarding!! I thought it'd be easier for me who'd already snowboarded before, but it wasn't. Well, I've never learned how to brake anyway... heheh... That was surely the highlight of the day. Ah... and sliding is very good, but climbing back is tiresome... I missed a ski lift...

Mole - It was close anyway... a choice to end the day.

Second day. At Lagoa da Conceicao. After tiring our legs climbing dunes, time for the arms to get some work. In other words, canoeing. Then, we changed for a paddle boat. That was an interesting one. It had a slope, so we could also play in the water.

After (late) lunch, a little of futsal and, as the weather was a little rainy, we went to a LAN house...

But for dinner... shrimp. And a lot! And relatively unexpensive! Since if I only tell few would believe, I have a picture:



That, plus rice, french fries (also in the picture), salad and mayonnaise... all for R$ 62,50. More a less US$ 30,00...

For the third day, we decided to change the saltwater sea for freshwater pool. So we went to a club and spent the day at the pool and playing sports (some strange, but interesting mix between tennis and volleyball) and truco.

By the end of the third day, it was time to face the long trip again... this time back home. Three days well spent!

And, of course, special thanks to our hosts / drivers / guides: Juliano and Simone!!
