We've been holed up in a rather nice chalet in Ilhabela since Thursday, having a proper holiday where our main daily concern is which beach to go to next and where to have lunch (and so far we've had lunch in the same place every day). I've been having a grand old time shamelessly scoffing down cake at breakfast, flopping about in the sea and catching up on my reading.
Yesterday we switched things up a bit by hiking up to a series of waterfalls, each more grandiose and inaccessible than the last, and taking lots of pictures by the "infinity pool" on level 3. Then, after some last-ditch phoning around once we realised everything on our side of the island was going to shut down for New Years Eve, we rocked up to a rather swish club on the side of a cliff in a part of the island which we weren't even aware of, for a very fancy NYE dinner, pink champagne and fireworks at midnight.
We are nominally back to work tomorrow morning, although we won't be back in São Paulo until tomorrow night. Unless we just pack it in and decide to stay here, selling ice cream on the beach. In any case, hope 2019 is enriching and exciting for you all. Here's a compilation I made earlier, although I haven't personally listened to it because the WiFi isn't great here. My phrase of the day is "stop looking for hair in eggs", or looking for problems where they don't exist. A good tip for the new year, methinks!
Speak sooooon,
