all right welcome to iabella everybody and first things first honestly six stars for iobella
i love this place so much ivana and i have been partying for three days for new year's so pardon
me for being a little slow this morning after three days of partying but we've had so much
fun in iobella i absolutely love this place the only bad thing about iobella is at this rate we're
never going to make it to rio we planned to stay in iobella for three days we've already extended
it's gonna be a week or so uh and my understanding is this is not even the most beautiful beach
in brazil not even close but we absolutely love it here we've been soaking up the sun
and soaking up the capparinas and really loving it we've been staying with uh gustavo's uncle
so big obrigado to them they live at the top of the hill you could not ask for a warmer
reception or a better party or a more beautiful view it's been absolutely great staying up there
and honestly it's funny we weren't even sure we were going to make it here because we took a five
hour bus ride from sao paulo city to iobella and then we jumped on the ferry to get to the island
and the whole way was epic rain so when we got here a lot of the roads in iobella were broken
and the roads were flooded and my understanding is everybody was okay there was no injuries
so that's good news but there was a point in time where we were going to cancel our trip
because the rain was too much and lucky for us we made it here and we've had such
a good time i can't tell you enough how much we love this place
there's tons of beaches all along the coastline it really is true that mother nature is the best
architect they're sort of perfectly laid out amongst all these little coves and there's one
road that connects them all you can jump on the bus for cash pay cash to the driver and
kind of go beach hopping so with gustavo and his family we were beat shopping all along
and we found one beach where you could jump off the pier into the water perfect sunny
day splashing in the water and that particular beach was sort of a beach jungle which i think
is my favorite kind of beach where right behind the beach is like forest and trees and jungle
super nice place have some beers i love that in brazil you can bring your own beer in the street
you can bring your own beer to the beach uh really fantastic and they sell small beers in brazil so
it's 269 mils and it's ice cold you bring a cooler and you drink these little beers and keep jumping
in the ocean we've been swimming and loving it and i think up in the mountain there are some
uh extreme sports happening we see lots of mountain bikers lots of dirt bikers we see
lots of these vehicles that are like i would call a dune buggy like an off-roading vehicle uh but to
be clear the only extreme sport we've been doing is drinking capparinas at 11 30 in the morning
so we've really been loving it and there seems to be lots to do here other than just soaking up the
sun on the beaches because there's a little downtown city center where we are now where
there's lots of action and shops and tons of ice cream shops with that ice cream every single day
as well as the church here is really beautiful it really stands out against the backdrop with
that blue and white paint job and it's like 300 plus years old super nice to venture inside and
say your prayers there seems to be lots to do and honestly i just love the culture in brazil
i have not seen a single one-piece female's bathing suit everyone's so happy and everyone's
got such nice dark skin looking so beautiful it's possible after 90 days in brazil even me
will have a tan it's possible i can get a 10. we'll work on that because my skin is not the best
but um really loving it i'll say it again six stars really our first beach experience in brazil
and it's really really nice because we've said this before it's not only the quality of the sand
and the quality of the water it's also the vibe of the beach so although everyone is telling us that
iabella is not the most beautiful part of brazil i think it really makes up for in the vibe here it
seems to be mostly local tourists and everybody just enjoying and soaking up the sun having a
beer and they play music along the boardwalk and dancing on a boardwalk is so nice i can't say
enough i love this place i really love brazil so in the end i think we'll wander through the city
center in a little bit here maybe go for some lunch it's uh it's a late breakfast today yeah
it's always a late breakfast it seems in iabella we're having some empanadas and some coffee that
i accidentally ordered chocolate coffee wow all right so chocolate coffee for breakfast
but there you have it guys so next up we'll go explore iabella the best love this place let's go
okay we were planning to eat at the boardwalk but it was way too windy but that stretch of boardwalk
is so beautiful guys it's just worth strolling around super nice in the evening there's some
music playing you can watch the beautiful sunset from there it's just gorgeous oh the sunset here
is amazing good point amazing sunset one of the best i've seen it's true yeah ever but we're in
the old historical center right now lots of shops pastel area ice cream shops let's see let's go
around here it's just so cute you know and you can even like rent a bike here on the island because
the island is actually pretty big you can go from one beach in the other end to the other bridge on
the other end you can take the bus or rent a bike ride the bike would be a good way look at this
the most popular shop here havanas and actually the sandals here they're pretty affordable
comparing it to canada here's like 40 riaz in canada it's like 40 canadian dollars so right
they're world famous sandals yeah everybody knows avayanas which i think means hawaiian hawaiian
which is funny that it's brazilian yeah also popular is like pokeballs here all around okay and
acai let's go for an acai bowl oh yeah let's go let's go that sounds right yeah the sun is up
i think we need some outside super cute and guys on new year's this alleyway was like full of
people so it was such a party the music was in the area it was really great it's a little bit quiet
now because i think everyone has gone back to sao polo i think the whole island is on a hangover
yes including steve he's so slow today he's like oh coffee another one
all right that's how you bowl let's go
oh
eat it
first attempt at eating a slight bowl it's a bit of a fail well it's so sick it doesn't drop
i'm waiting for the sorbet it's like a sorbet is it cold i feel like i'm eating a big bowl
of ice cream is it cold yeah so we've only got uh acai natural and i got acai super fun i was gonna
go for power but i went for super fun yeah it's coming soon so tell me your acai bowl experience
uh you got some granolas here oh it has some honey and banana on top uh would you say it's
more of a healthy snack or more of a dessert snack i can't tell if it looks healthy or looks sweet
or is it both it's sweet it's like sorbet like ice cream sorbet you know um but i think it's
healthier than i think something about acai sounds healthy to me like a superfood antioxidant that
purple color looks so healthy right in canada we could we cannot have this because in canada only
the powder is available so if you go to a juice juice area we're at a hamburger so in canada if
you go to a juiceria you would order your juice it's not outside juice is not on the menu you can
only add the acai powder on top yeah is it weird to get an acai bowl and then get a burger after
no oh this is yours oh i think mine is more deserted
children are you three years old
there's like a circle i get to sprinkle some time are you three years old steve all right
all right everyone i gotta eat this because look at it oh it's cold my hand is frozen
looks good don't know all right let's eat man
i tell you what final review of acai super fun honestly it's super fun to eat
you got like some milk powder on the top yeah the milk powder is very interesting because
it's powder so it absorbs water it makes your mouth dry but as you're eating the milk powder
you're eating acai which is so delicious it's like mouth-watering so you have a wet and dry
phenomenon happening at the same time in your mouth it's super fun it's really super fun
although i will say at the beginning was so delicious i ate like five scoops in a
row and i got wicked brain freeze which is not super fun but um i wonder what brain freeze is
called in portuguese someone in the comments let us know would you eat something really cold your
head hurts yeah in canada we call brain freeze yeah i wonder where it's called more cheese
but anyway to me tastes like blueberry chocolate
it's sort of like chocolate blueberry with powdered milk i could go for no
sprinkles [ __ ] kid but overall honestly would recommend siu super fun it was super fun
all right so as it turns out i have given up on my dream
of eating an acai bowl and then eating a hamburger i didn't realize how filling an assay bowl is
i think acai's super fun is going to make my acai super fat
anyway ivana ivana's got an idea for lunch uh
maybe we'll have something light and lean a pokeball pokeball
which i've never even heard of before i think it's from hawaii let's go next up pokeball
from acai bowl to pokeball and you fully told me this is hawaiian for some reason i
thought it was japanese i think there is some japanese influence in this hawaiian
food which is actually pretty popular here in brazil or at least around sao paulo so
yeah but let me just try this it has mango and everything tropical mango is our favorite
uh fruit looks light and fresh and looks very beach friendly it looks like beach friendly food
for leaves salmon is very fresh it's good fantastic i wonder if they got is there someone
here in brazil good question or is it imported i feel like salmon is fresh water but i have no idea
yeah i got lake i have no idea good question yeah interesting but i've had such a great time here
yeah big big obrigado to gustavo for inviting us because we would not have come here without him
we really loved it yeah i'm glad we end up here because we almost didn't make it here exactly
amazing place amazing island it's so relaxing here the relaxing vibe no one is rushing yes i love
that about this island there's a type of person or type of feeling that's on an island it's like an
island vibe yeah it's so different than sao paulo where everything is like rush rush you know what i
mean and here is just so relaxing i love the beach the beach is nice we had some fun jumping off
the pier you know swimming around oh my gosh i had such a great time yeah the sun is hiding now
the weather changed very very very quickly it might be rain soon but uh i love it just five
hours drive from sao paulo so absolutely great absolutely worth coming here five stars island
i would say six stars because of the new year's party we made it
extra bonus yes but super great so let's eat our pokeballs and then we will uh
get out of here tomorrow five days five days in here we were planning to go back to the
beach this evening but i think it won't happen because i think it'll it's gonna rain it's gonna
