Buzios, Brazil


Before leaving Brazil the ship made a stop in a small port town called Buzios...or something like that. It was a cute little port town. There aren’t too many places where cruise ships dock that aren’t developed and touristy, but this town was nothing of the sort. Everyone was very friendly. I had sangrias at a nice local restaurant and walked along the beach and through the town. I took a picture of a church and the ship from one of the beaches. We weren’t docked, the water was too shallow, so we had to tender. Tendering is when they take some of the lifeboats back and forth from the ship to the dock to transport passengers and crew. It’s such a pain and sometimes it’s a really long bumpy ride. In the Falklins the tender ride was twenty minutes, but I’m getting a head of myself.

We made another stop in another Brazilian port where I went to the beach and took a self-portrait on the beach by some large round boulders that looked really cool. And that’s all for Brazil. Next will be Uruguay.
