Florianopolis
On Sunday I crossed back over to Brazil and checked out that side of the waterfalls with the american girls from the neighbouring hostel. This was just as amazing as the Argentine side, but you got a better view of the entire waterfalls. At one point you could walk out on a platform underneath the spay of the main falls. It was mandatory to get a photo underneath the falls, so we were all soaked in seconds, only to have to go back into the downpour because someone had stepped into the photo. I think it was all a plan to get us properly soaked for the day. Walked up to the top of the falls, and met up with Alex of Adelaide from the day before and a few english girls from the hostel and are currently living in Asuncion. Much to their dismay they had no luck in convincing me how great Asuncion is.
Got the overnight bus from Foz to Florianopolis (just 15 hours), checked out the city and then caught the local bus out to Barra da Lagoa where there is an aussie hostel, but the only thing Aussie about the place seems to be the (half) flag flying next to the Brazilian flag. Is a good atmosphere in the hostel with games played early into the morning.
Tuesday I walked up to the lighthouse, then over the hills which gave a great view over the entire island. Then walked down to the next beach which turned out to be a nudist beach and was particularly scary so it was straight past there to Praia Mole. Spent the day on the beach before walking along the lake back home.
Is overcast today so just hanging around town. Will be a soccer match on the beach starting soon so the Aussies will be represented there.
Another 2 nights here before probably staying a few nights in Curitibata, then on to Sao Paulo en route to Rio!

Just had a look on Google Earth and the Praia Mole looks like a very popular place to be with good surf. I think I found your Backpackers, just over the bridge. Good position. And from the pictures it looks like a fun place to be. The small river from the lake to the sea must be tidal. Have a good time! Cheers
