Today's Lesson (12/8): Weather reports will give you the UV index for the day. The typical/moderate UV level is between 3-5 and the highest is 11, which is considered extreme. It is extreme here!
Despite sun exposure concerns, today was pretty epic! We took an early flight to Florianopolis, where we seamlessly picked up a rental car to drive an hour or so to Costao do Santinho, an all inclusive resort we'll be staying the next three nights! En route, we found a laundromat! It was truly very exciting (especially the butter knife homeless person fight we witnessed through the window...no pictures because I didn't want to be that person).
Even more exciting was when we checked into the resort, we were given a major upgrade from a basic economy room to a junior suite with a balcony and ocean views in the posh part of the resort! I guess no one told them we're hiker trash :). We spent the afternoon lounging, swimming, saunaing, drinking, and eating...gotta love all inclusive!
