to organise a boat trip so we thought we’d save that for tomorrow.

Instead we walked round down to the beach then around to another bay. It was a lovely walk and the other beach was equally as nice as Parati’s main one. It was all very chilled, with lots of beach side bars and the odd bit of music playing here and there.

Still it was cheap and cheerful and the surroundings more than made up for a bit of a dodgy pizza. Also your food is not served together which is
