The last of the last – Ilha Grande – Photos – by Karin (the Mom)

Schooling aboard.

Ilha Grande is the only place where you can see penguins (cold Atlantic) together with Tropical Sea Life

At the beachfront of the village of Abraao where Marike and Franci are having the first of there many LAST Asai treats before leaving Brazil.  There were many: Here at Abraao, once more at Mendos lopez beach on Marike’s birthday and eventually at Salvador where we had to stop for the engine.

All of sudden we found moths appearing at dusk. We were sure that they were coming from outside…….but……when I opened up the last package of nuts from South Africa, we realised that they were actually imported!

Franci’s foot, swollen from the mosquito bites. Ilha Grande mosquitos are vicious!
