As I mentioned in the previous post, there was basically nothing to do in the town. Therefore, we went on a nice boat tour. There were several boats going on tours, but unfortunately they seemed to all take the same route. Since the boats all were quite big, taking around 100 people each, this means that there were always a lot of people in every place where we stopped.
But, as you can see in these pictures, it was still really nice.
We stopped in a small island (Ilha de Cataguases), where it was possible to go snorkeling. It was really nice to swim with colourful fishes, after finding a spot without a lot of people that is. Even though it was really nice, it was nothing compared to what we experienced later in the trip (as you will see in later posts).
One the way back to Angra, we saw a beautiful sunset behind the mountains.
Later we stopped in a place (Lagoa Azul - the Blue Lagoon) which was supposed to be one of the best places in this region. There was no beach here, but the boat stopped next to the shore so that you could go swimming, but not go up on the island. The highlight here was all the colourful fishes, which were really beautiful. The problem was that there were plenty of boats here, all basically parked right next to each other as cars in a big parking lot. Then you could mainly go swimming in the few metres between the boats. There were a lot of fish, but almost as many people, so it didn't feel natural at all, just crowded.
Then we stopped in Freguesia de Santana, where there was a small church next to the beach. The church was 150 years old, which is quite old by Brazilian standards.
This was the boat we were going around with.
