this is the costa verde bus we heard from our uber driver that this is a beautiful drive
they're a bunch of colorful boats there's a few places you can eat right along the river
this has to be one of the best looking towns i've ever seen
currently we are waiting for our uber it takes about 20 minutes to get to the bus
station from our airbnb in copacabana to the bus station which is called
novo rio i believe luckily we left just enough time that we can get some coffee and food when
we arrive to the bus station so we're not hungry on the bus ride it is needed this is a loud area
of the city and i don't think i've slept for the last five nights here very much
what do you want you have so many choices i don't know i just want coffee and how they taste them
our new favorite mini paladin we just cleared them out
always bring water on your bus strips and snacks
we're the last ones here just made it this is the costa verde bus let's give you a tour
really serious it looks like have no room here
so we just got on our bus uh we got in front of me let's seat back all the way so i have no
room at i all barely sit here so i'm gonna have to put mine back into the next person
and wednesday is fine we're off to a great start we are on our way to parachie which is a
coastal historical town we've heard it's amazing so we're gonna check it out for a few days
some of the bluest water you've ever seen as long as the pictures are real that's
what we're looking forward to we got a couple coffees at that place we got some pao de queijo
uh a quiche so we'll show you our little food that we got and the snacks are set
it's about a four-hour bus ride to get to parachie we're going a little bit backwards
in our itinerary because in between sao paulo and rio and we're kind of backtracking
but i figured it was worth it to see it alex is sucks he has no problem
this should be illegal in it i could hardly climb in
we had to ask him to put his seat up but then he put it right back
down once i was caught into his feet at least someone's comfortable
it's a quiche i don't think that is typical in brazil but maybe i'm
wrong i don't think we've seen this yet but it's like a tomato cheese
quiche i thought i'd try something different today that's pretty good good little snack
we cleared out the whole bakery of their pow de queijo because we got 20 mini ones in there
coffee water and a glossina
so we heard from our uber driver that this is a beautiful drive to veracie from rio
so he said not to fall asleep we'll try to make that happen i probably will anyway but
alex always sleeps on buses i'll watch the footage after i wake up and it's probably right here
okay we just arrived in parachie so we tried to get an uber to go to our airbnb to check in
but it says there's no drivers available so maybe they don't have uber in the smaller towns we're
finding out so we're gonna look for a taxi and see if we can get to our place which is only like half
a mile away but we have all of our luggage with us so we don't know if we can walk that
and pro tip right here if you know where you're going next you know how long you're going to be
at your destination and you took a bus then you should get a bus ticket while you're still at the
station to go for the next time so you don't have to go there early try to get a ticket not know if
you can get a ticket and all of that and you get way better seats if you book ahead of time
we just booked our bus for when we leave here and we got the front seat of the bus which is the bus
we decided to walk after all it's only 16 minutes and it feels pretty safe here so far
so guys we have another dog following us home another potato head
he's been following us for a good 10 minutes even though there are a lot of other
a lot of other people a lot of other tourists and he's just sticking with us
so we just arrived at our airbnb it is tucked away in this little beach coastal community it's
super cute so it's like one duplex with four units so we just have a room and a bathroom
first the courtyard nice little courtyard we're enclosed in this fence and we're on
the top unit here so you have this hammock which is cute and then these plants right behind us
very stylish we didn't even expect this so this place is 25 a night which is a pretty good deal
for this area this is the room vaulted ceiling which we love it feels very clean
it's very simple but that's all we needed for just a few nights here tv
we have a fridge microwave probably won't be using this stuff but there's a coffee maker for alex
always needs his morning coffee yeah and wow the bathroom's pretty nice
a walk-in shower with a big shower head toilet sink very nice
with these airbnbs you never know if you're gonna get a clean one or not but this feels super clean
so that's the whole tour but
it's beautiful we like it the bed's actually soft our last bed was hard as a rock
so we're all settled into our airbnb and we are gonna go walk around this town and just explore
we have no plans so we only have three days in parachie so we want to get out there and see
as much as we can because we don't have a lot of time here and i think we're really gonna like it
so we just left our place we went down about 30 seconds and look at this a little acai place but
it looks like it's in the person's home so there's just a little window and they sell it from their
house talk about a night and day difference from rio to parichy there's hardly any people here
it's very chill and calm it looks like a little surfer beach town kind of vibe as much as we liked
sao paulo and rio we were ready for a break from the big cities so this is just what we needed
so we just came across the river or i'm not even sure if it's a river it's just
where the water comes in here and there are a bunch of colorful boats it looks like almost
like hand-painted boats and there's this little walkway so like a river walk through the town
look at this one this is a sunken boat right here right here along the side with all the other boats
just abandoned right there halfway
underwater
wow it looks like there's a few places you can eat right along the river
we're definitely gonna have some dinner there or there tonight
i don't really picture little towns in brazil looking like this
it's awesome to get to see places like this because of the tourists most of the things you see
are going to be like rio and sao paulo
look at all these little restaurants down here with all this stuff out like
like it's italy there's this part full of all these different desserts
every step you take it looks more beautiful you don't even know which way to go because
you're going to miss out whatever way you choose i'm in love with this place already
and we haven't even been here for more than an hour uh you guys were right you
suggested hair cheat and i'm glad that we listened to you did not disappoint
wow this has to be one of the best looking towns i've ever seen in any of my travels this is
easy to look at easy on the eyes one of the best parts is there's like hardly any people here
guys these are the kinds of places we're gonna go while we're here
it's beautiful
it went from sunny and beautiful to rainy and cloudy real quick and lightningy a bunch of
lightning around here okay so we went inside to get some shelter and we just booked something we
usually don't do tours but in a place like this in some places in the world you pretty much have to
book a tour if it's like a boat tour and you can't get to these islands and these cool places without
being on a tour you can't drive a boat yourself so you just have to sometimes we each played about 18
for an all-day tour on a boat to see four different beaches and included snorkel gear we
did some bargaining and got that so it should be a really cool day the beaches look gorgeous look at
how blue the water is you can't even really see it right there so look forward to that tomorrow
we don't know what we're doing right now we're just walking in the rain
look at lindsay completely soaking look it's it's flooding and we're looking for a restaurant but
it's all gone now there used to be like 50 people here eating and it looked good and no nothing
prepared for this we don't know where we're going now just look at this nobody else my hair looks
like i just showered guys this is not going well all the restaurants are super expensive
each meal is at least 20 dollars so we keep going to the next one hoping we're gonna find
a cheaper one but nope they just keep getting more expensive but we're not gonna give up we're
gonna keep looking for a cheaper one we're already drenched so what do we have to lose at this point
maybe this place it's worth a try alex's shirt is see-through
there's puddles everywhere we finally found the place within our price range
what are we going to do now either eat the way you're not supposed to eat
or pay five times as much so far we've
we were so hungry we didn't show any of the dinner we're sorry but it cost about ten dollars for four
miniature sized pizzas two coffees and two big waters so pretty good better than the 20
meals each that we were seeing at other restaurants and now we're gonna walk home
so you
