Travelling to Ilha Grande

We´ve heard lots of people talking about a beautiful tropical island south of Rio called Ilha Grande so we´ve decided that we may aswell head there for a few days lying on the beach...

We catch a cama bus to Rio (22 hours) followed by a futile dash in a taxi all around Rio trying to find somewhere that will cash travellers cheques. Onto another coach for 3 hours to Angra dos Reis then we hitched a ride on a supplies boat over to the island...
