Monday 26 December changed hotel
We seem to have posted 104 entries so we must have been away 104 days!
An email arrived this morning, mentioning a barbecue where all my children, cousin and family and aunt would be this evening. With time difference, it was just right to skype them, which went off very well.
We had dropped in at the Art Hostel yesterday, where the Oasis trip starts on 4th January. We are booked in for the 3rd and thought it might be a good idea to move there now to get away from the bugs and then to leave some of the bulky luggage here while we go to Paraty. This morning we got agreement from the owner to refund us the next 2 days we had prepaid so we jumped in a taxi and came over here.
Our room is unusual. We have our own bathroom with an interesting bidet.
It has no window, vent, grating, extractor or any other type of opening, other than the door into our room. No such thing would be allowed in Aus. Our room has one window, which opens into the stairwell!

It rained lightly all day after a week of blazing sunshine. The forecast from now, right through New Year and until 4th January when we leave is for thunderstorms. This may be an issue for the big celebrations at Copacabana. We were chatting with a couple of Dutch boys who are going. They have had to book their train tickets in a time slot already. They are paying R130 each per night for a dorm bed. (About $80) We will be well away down the coast.
