Shell Shock in Ilha Grande

After Rio we went to a beautiful jungle island in Brazil called Ilha Grande. The scale of the rainfall was directly proportional to the size of this monster snail. I mean, look at him! Matty and I had never seen the like of it before. To stay here one needs to be accepting of all the `nature´. On day two I was delighted to find a tiny snake that had wriggled his way to the bottom of my coffee cup. At first I thought he was coffee grounds but closer inspection made me almost heave. If this is Brazil´s answer to the worm in the Tequila shot, I won´t be following the local customs. When in Rome my arse. In the garden of our little jungle pousada we have managed to spot some little monkeys high up in the trees. Although far away, they appeared to be of a relatively standard size. Imagine my relief when I was assured that not all animals around here have bizarre measurements.
