Juaquina Beach near Florianopolis

On Sat, We found a place after a full day of travel, started getting cranky after not eating all day on the bus. But we found a terrific place We are in the `Juaquina Beach Hotel` in Juaquina beach by Florianopolis, it~s an AMAZING hotel called overlooking the beach 30 seconds away, so we are in rooms 301 and 106.
32 32 50 59 is the phone # for locals, it~s a killer place to stay and the swedish girls Elin and Alexandra are still hanging out with us. The beach was really crowded during the day but it~s quiet at night. Went body surfing and boogie boarding, then had to call it on the sun was too strong, it´s doing a tropical rain thing now, should blow over in about 30 min. More to come soon, miss having english menus and wait staff that understand english.

It´s now Tues morning and we have had a great time, not the incredible party that I had thought of, more local street parties with good stereos in the back of hatchbacks. Good energy and nice people. The party doesn´t start until about 2am so that´s where being a night worker (vampire) has come in handy.
The Swedish girls went to stay with some friends, but hopefully we~ll meet up again tonight.
It~s georgeous here and fairly mellow.
