Had an impromptu tour from Raul (curator?) of this lovely historic fort which is a great place to visit if you are in Paraty. Raul is a genuine enthusiast who told us all about the British guns that were given to Brazil by King George - apparently they were only fired once in 1822 and then only to celebrate an historic occasion. They looked great though, pointing out across the bay! He also told us the history of the indigenous craftsmen in this part of Brazil and spent lots of time with us desp
