(^30) Guarapari – Carapina Beach – 84 km
Nothing came of the predicted rain and the cloud cover made for good biking
weather. Amanda set off at quite a speed, and I couldn’t believe how quickly she
became fit.
At Vitoria, the authorities didn’t allow bicycles across the main bridge (Ponte 3)
making it a long detour around the city to cross the river at Ponte Florentino
Avidos. Nevertheless, Amanda, with her fear of water and heights, sped across the
bridge in record time.
Vitoria turned out quite surprising, revealing an old and modern section. At the
beach, accommodation was pricey and we continued through various congested
settlements. Arriving at the coast, Amanda threatened to stop right there.
Fortunately, she didn’t give up and managed to continue until reaching Carapina
Beach, which sported a reasonably priced pousada right at the water’s edge. The
room was large but had clearly not been cleaned since the previous occupants,
and I happily hauled out the sleeping bag.
