Quick day trip to Búzios and Arraial do Cabo...I want more!

I've been out for a while, i finally got myself a job so i can save some money and do some REAL travelling by the end of the year...where to? Honestly i dont even know yet! I do know, i'm going somewhere far for a change. :)
This time on the other hand, i went to spend the weekend with my family for my brothers birthday in Macaé, where there's not really much to see or do and the restaurants are all posh.
Well, saturday we went and spent the day in two beeeeautiful places in Rio, i just wish i had more time, to really discover these places.
First we did a quick stop in Arraial do Cabo, amazing beaches!! I only could see one though...got some great photos anyway :)

Búzios has the most cute little village center, much less simple than arraial do cabo's and i also only had time to see one of the great beaches they have to offer, the one close to the famous "rua das pedras" where's all te restaurants, one club or another, etc.

My mother's poor attempt of taking a shot of me with Brigitte Bardot statue in Búzios :D

Oh, yeah...this is not the proper review of those two places, i'll write about both when i have the chance to go there for longer! :) This is just a glimpse really, haha.

Cheerie Cheers,

Jess.

I literally just finished reading "Silver Linings Playbook" and i must say that considering how the film went out, the book surprised me quite a lot! Must i say that i loved how the story of the misfit Pat Peoples kept going on and on through his crazy "delusions" and just how things turned out beautifully in some way ^^" I wont spoil it here guys, don't worry! You have to read it yourself if you wanna know the true story =P 

You know what? I think in the end life can be really crapy, but if you look hard enough you'll see there are some silver linings ;) And oon to the new nice place i went to visit todaay :) 

Paquetá is not a very exciting place considering the dirty water from the beach and the smell of horse poop/dog poop....it is though such a calm place that you put these things said before aside so you can go there for a day relax a bit, get out of the crazy daily rush from the city of Rio.

 It is a really small island 50/60 from Rio, you get a ferry from Rio (Praça XV) to Paquetá and only pays 4,80 reais for the ticket. You can go there for a great relaxing weekend as well, one of those you want to just lay down all day without the city sounds, read a good book and again, relax. 

Overall is not such a bad scenery, see?! :) Even though, there are some other places in the state of Rio, like Ilha Grande that will serve you the same way and it's a hundred times prettier and enjoyable than Paquetá, then again, since it is this better, it is more expensive and there are a lot more tourists, etc etc. (I'll make a post about Ilha Grande here some time in the future ;) )

Anyway, my next travelling destination will be Bahia, my lovely homestate and on to my hometown, Salvador :) Maybe i'll make a post about it as well, if i'm not too busy being lazy enjoying the comfort of my home and my parents food :D 

I'll see you soon,

Cheerie Cheers, 

Jess ;)
