Florianopolis Brazil

Hello all
Arrived here yesterday and was dazzled by the scenery. Funny thing was that no one was swimming and hardly a boat in the water. No kayakers or windsurfers or kite surfers. Temp was  33 on arrival. Found out the water is heavily polluted.
We went for a walk along the beach front and the water was very murky. Nothing like home ah.
Been eating well with plenty of fresh produce. The economy is pretty poor with the average monthly take home at around NZD $700.00. Many homeless here and begging pretty blatant. No problems for a Dutchman though.
Bit of a negative post but enjoying the scenes around us. Lovely place to stay just minutes from the water and from downtown. Afternoon  thunderstorms are very intense. Crash bang.
Talk soon

Sam
