We had a shorter time today in Ilhabela than during the last several islands. It was rather overcast but the humidity remained high. Jay and I just walked for a couple of hours where the tender boats dropped us off. Jay even ventured into the water a bit. However, lots of orange MSC towels were there too.
Jay also noticed a lot of familiar plants and trees. Of course, the Portuguese were in Sri Lanka once, even though hundreds of years ago . Some of their language made its way into his language too. Jay always learns new connections when we are where the Portuguese were.
So, tomorrow will be a sea day as we continue to head south. We will stop in Montevideo, Uruguay on Monday. When heading around the cape and from the Falklands, we hit the city before going into Buenos Aires. They are like sisters.
On Tuesday we have to get off this ship. We have less than two weeks remaining in our Airbnb before we fly home for spring.
