Today we embarked on a split expedition. Andrew and Jordy barefoot walked while Xander and I rode mountain bikes. The island didn't have a bike that fit Jordy so this was the adventure we created!
We went on a dirt road from the village Abraao on Ilhe Grande through the jungle and over a mountain to get to Dois Rios which is a remote beach on the other side of the island. In this little village there used to be a prison that held political prisoners. In 1994 the prison was blown up (without prisoners inside) so now the village is a bizarre ghost town with a few inhabitants and a gorgeous beach in a cove. The weather has been mostly overcast since we have been in Brasil and today was no exception. It worked out well to have cooler temperatures for our trek over the mountain.
