PARITY, BRAZIL - Day 2 

Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun! 

We had time to do some shopping for Carnival sparkle outfits after in the colonial town center.

Sadly our tender issues surfaced again when we went to rejoin our Ship at 5:30. The tender was having engine problems and we had to hire a  party boat to get us back to the ship. Always an adventure!  There was 37 of us, happy to finally make it back on board our Ship and we were extremely grateful for the female crew, who took kindness on us and got us back safe and happy!

Party is a small town backed by the mountains on Brazil's Costa Verde, between Rio and Sao Paula. Its colonial center is cobbled streets and 17th & 18th century buildings dating back to the Brazilian Gold Rush. The whitewashed church was built in 1722. The port was full of party boats that cater to the many tourist and dot the coastline. There are 65 islands and hundreds of beaches. The town was decorated for the first weekend of Carnival and many of our residents stayed in town overnight to part take in the festivities. Which kicked off today.
