Florianopolis

So a slight change of plan occured at the Iguazu bus station on the Brazilan side. We couldnt buy our bus tickets to Campo Grande in Argentina without paying double the price so we decided to see what happened when we got to the Brazilian side. After much discussion we decided that we would head to the beach instead. Another night bus and we arrived in Florianopolis.
We spent two nights here and did not really get to see what the island had to offer. We had both come down with the flu and spent a lot of time trying to recover in bed. The saving grace was that the weather was less than average, wet and grey and it was cold. It was a good place to rest and recover.
The highlight of our time here was out Sunday buffet lunch at Arante in Patano do Sol with the numerous notes on the wall left by travellers from mnay a time gone by. The notes started when people would come here to camp and they wanted to tell their friends where they were camping so left notes at the restaurants which is just on the beach as the boats would dock.
