After travelling up the coast.... I was recommended to visit in Paraty, a colonial town on the coast . It was so neat a whole 17th century village of portuguese construction , re done and so well , Old town is now hotels, shops and resturantes. I ended up going on a boat cruise to get off the bike for a day and it was perfect . 5 hrs on a larger sail type boat 40ft , went to 5 different islands and snorkeled and swam , met some people from all over , but mainly Argentinian´s in this area on holidays ! Enjoyed beers with some friendly Argentina girls after. I also had the best burger and milkshake of the trip here !
Next day loaded up early 11am and headed out up the coast to Petropolis , which is near Rio just north west of the city . Very enjoyable ride into the coastal mtns and up in elevation so cooler now , found a hotel late at dark and some rain again ! This city has no place to stay and it´s a tourist town ? what gives ? Next day I walked around and explored the old city of Euro´s and Germans , Relaxing city , great temperature , I can see why they settled here . Coastal hwy was so nice, but hot ... nice to be back in the mountains .
