Barf-a-saurus Rex Boat Tour

There are approximately 1 jillion beaches in Buzios so we thought it would be a good idea to take a day long boat tour to see a few more than we are able to walk to. It sounded good, caipirinhas and lunch were included, and you know how we feel about booze cruises (AwesomeTown). The boat departed from Cabos Frio and the hour long bus ride left Selin with a touch of motion sickness.

Other than the 2 of us, the crowd was exclusively Argentinians and Chileans. There were all kinds of synchronized dance-offs and clapping. Lots of clapping.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Selin´s motion sickness didn´t improve with dramamine and not too long after departure, she realized that it wasn´t motion sickness at all. Imagine this: 100+ people on a boat. 1 head (boat bathroom) with a pump action flusher that was marginally effective. 1 Barf-A-Saurus Rex. Disaster. She spent most of the trip down below fending off advice for how to deal with heat stroke in Spanish. ´No esta del calor, estoy enferma en estomago.´

This is how Barf-A-Saurus Rex spent her day, sleeping in the shade under the life jackets.

Despite her pukiness, we went snorkeling at the reputed 2nd most popular snorkel site in Brazil. Interesting because we saw approximately 3 fish and they were minnows. The exciting find of the day was a lost earring. Woohoo!


Selin`s on some good drugs now and recovering just in time for our bus ride to Rio this afternoon. Our skin is singed, we`re both a little burnt but had a great time in Buzios and looking forward to not getting mugged in Rio. (We broke international treaties and brought pepper spray)
