Was also had our first encounter with someone wanting protection money to park the car in the street - unfortunately the car has not yet reached classic status.

A short drive further on brough us to Praia Joaquina and onto the rocks ag Ponta do Retiro.

Later....lunch in the town of Lagoa da Conceicao is cheeseballs, Pao de queijo, which demonstrates the Auntie Ale's are the best.

after lunch we visited the viewpoints at Mirante do Morro de Lagoa Conceicao for the views across the double lake

and then up to the top of the hill, Morro da Cruz, looking out across Florianopolis city and onto the main land.

Back at home the waether is ideal for a BBQ accompanied by passion fruit cocktail (alcoholic) and peanut cocktail (alcoholic very). Perhaps the first time I discovered that my ability to play cards may be negatively impacted by alcohol.
