Rich (the second Kiwi) and I left Itacare destino a Domingos Martins - a cool (temperature) mountainous German town half way to Rio. We had to go via Ilheus and then get an overnight bus to Vitoria and a connection 1 1/2 later - so we thought. When we arrived (1 hour early I thought) we got ourselves settled, and got in breakfast and Rich guarded our belongings while I investigated bus times to Rio a couple of days later. Little did we know we'd become victims of daylight savings. Rich realised that the time was one hour ahead about 5 mins before our bus was due to leave. Not a problem as ALL buses leave late in Brazil. Not this one.
Anyway, the nice man at the desk gave us new tickets for free. Good job that kiwi's seem to be very relaxed about my apparent inability to navigate this country without a few f**k- ups.
We met a guy called Joel at the tourist information office who hooked us up with his daughter who owned a pousada and he even invited us to his house for dinner. It was probably the nicest meal that I've eaten in Brazil.
The Pedra Azul was really beautiful but we couldn't climb up it as there had been some issues with rain. So we had a few relaxed days before hitting Rio. Good job really....
