We left Rio and headed north to Amacão dos Buzios, or simply Buzios. We caught a 1001 bus, it took 2.5 hours and cost $44.00 Reals (around $20AUD). The trip was comfortable as thus far all the buses in South America are MUCH more comfortable than any planes I’ve ever been on. Once we arrived we found our hostel and got settled.
We were staying at Lagoon Backpackers, and as the name suggests it was situated right on a lagoon, well across the road from one. We had booked a 6 bed dorm but as none else was there we had it to ourselves.
The hostel was walking distance from a central strip of shops and multiple beaches. We spent most of our time at Geriba Beach and eating at pay per kilogram restaurants (these were AWESOME and so so cheap).
We stayed 4 days in Buzios and during this time didn’t do much other than lay in the sun, read and just generally explore the town.
On Friday night we decided to play some drinking games with a deck of cards and a bottle of cachaca. We made a local cocktail the hostel owner showed us.
Ingredients:
- Cachaca
- Passionfruit
- Ice
And thats it.
Us girls finished up early whilst Sean stayed on until he was alone at 2am, needless to say he'd had better days than Saturday.
All in all it was a very nice and mostly relaxing 4 days, next stop Arraial do Cabo.
