Mar 12 Ihla Grande, Brazil

We're now visiting a couple of resort areas in Brazil around Rio de Janeiro. First up is Ihla Grande.  It looks like any other beach town around the world, with pretty beaches and touristy shops.  Ihla Grande does have a major state park on the island, and has no cars.

There is no cruise dock so we tendered into town.

 There are no cars or trucks that I saw.  Lots of hotels, so when tourists come over on the ferry with luggage, it's transported on these man mobile carts.

 It's a short walk from town into the state park

We spent a couple of hours walking around the town and park.  Even though the cruise director predicted low 70s, it was pretty hot and we welcomed the return to A/C on the ship.
