Days 5-7: At sea and Ilhabela, Brazil

Days 5-6: At Sea

Nothing happened.

Day 7: Ilhabela, Brazil

Today we stopped at Ilhabela, an island just off the coast of Brazil, near Sao Paulo.  Ihlabela is a very popular tourist destination, with a lot of beaches around the island.  We took the ship's tender into the main town (also called Ilhabela) and wandered around the town.  We didn't make it to any of the beaches, except for one near the center of town.

We stopped for lunch at a restaurant in the center of town, which had a very entertaining menu.




After walking a bit more around town, we took a tender back to the ship.
