We spent 3 days in Paraty ... Ray's favourite place in Brazil. It was the coastal town at the end of the gold trail; but then got abandoned as a trading centre a couple of hundred years ago. So the buildings (and cobbled streets ... no vehicles) are more or less as they were in the 18th and 19th century.
We stayed in a very nice pousada: every chalet overlooked the sea.
Then we went on Tony's boat for a day out in the perfect swimming waters, lovely islands and (for Malcolm) spectacular birdwatching terrain!
Here we are; four intrepid travellers about to descend into strange caves:
We emerged unscathed and went swimming. Tony presented Malcolm with this star fish
... and here is Ray, in hois element, looking out across the water whilst lying on Tony's boat

Hello you two.
Being clever people, you realised that "Paraty" was an anagram of the name of your blog, didn't you?
