S1E4 - Brazil

For the first time on Jane's epic journey, she's visiting more traditional tourist hotspots.

First up is a guided jeep tour of beautiful Ilha Bela, where she witnesses the strange phenomena of singing rocks. Sailing along the Costa Verde coastline, Jane stops at exquisite Paraty, to explore the biodiverse Mangroves; a UNESCO world heritage site, by Kayak. Jane sails in to the beautiful bay of Buzios, known as the Saint Tropez of Brazil - made famous by Brigitte Bardot - and explores the peninsula on a tourist trolley bus, chatting to fellow yacht passengers about their favourite places so far.

On the final leg of Jane's Brazilian adventure she takes a cable car to the top of Sugar Loaf mountain for panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro, and savours her final taste of Brazil at a mountain top bar.

The Mediterranean leg of Jane's journey begins as she sails through the impressive 19th century Corinth Canal, a man-made waterway that connects the Aegean and Ionian seas to reach Italy. The singer visits historic Gallipoli in Southern Italy and savours the famous local delicacy - purple prawns. After catching up with cruising first-timers over sunset cocktails, she sails to Sicily to hitch a ride on a vintage three-wheeler around the medieval town of Savoca, immortalised by the Godfather movie trilogy.
