Arraial do Cabo – Buzios – 35 km 21
Amanda appeared much improved after a day’s rest and we cycled the short
distance to Buzios. Well done to Amanda who didn’t complain about the wind. She
simply rolled her eyes a few times. Once in Buzios, the Buzios Hostel was a great
place to fix tent poles and connect to the internet. Amanda, no doubt, was the first
to spot a sign advertising a bus trip to Salvador.
The supermarket provided supper, which we cooked in the hostel’s kitchen.
Unfortunately, to our dismay, Amanda discovered she was a victim of card fraud.
What a disaster!
Buzios
Contacting Amanda’s bank to report the card fraud took longer than anticipated.
After completing the time-consuming job of phoning the bank and cancelling the
card, the time was past midday. So, the remainder of the day was spent in pretty
Buzios.
Buzios, known for its beaches, didn’t disappoint. In the early ’60s, Buzios was
“discovered” by Brigitte Bardot and her Brazilian boyfriend. After that, the town
went from a sleepy fishing community to a world-class tourist resort. Finally, the
wind subsided, allowing an enjoyable amble on the beach, showcasing a stunning
sunset.
