Exercise
In Jurere, Florianopolis - exercise seems to be taken seriously. At any time of the day, but particularly first thing in the morning and in the late afternoon, there are loads of people out - jogging, power walking, cycling, swimming or just strolling.
To me it seems a lot easier to take exercise here in Jurere. The beach is 2 kilometres from one end to the other - so that it makes it a 4 km round trip. Walking on sand, particularly in flip flops and at a pace, makes you feel if as if you are taking exercise, but the sea, sun, white sand and spectacular views make the whole thing such a pleasure.
If the tide is right up and it's more difficult to walk on the beach, then there is a paved walkway behind the dunes from one end of the beach to the other. This is a great walk because - first - there are trees, providing shade, which means that you can avoid getting burned by the sun and walk at any time of the day - and second - the walkway is lined by the houses of the rich - fascinating architecture! Why they need such big second houses on the beach, I can't imagine - but the different designs make a 4 km walk very interesting. Presumably they expect everyone to gawp at their houses, otherwise they wouldn't have built them in this location.
Doing this walk, twice a day, plus swimming in the sea every fine day - means that we are definitely feeling more fit - not to mention more tanned. When I get my digital camera, I will post some photos!
