VW GOLFINHOS


We left you last time with stories from Salvador. Since then we haven´t had the need to blog as we have pretty much been lying on the beach drinking freshly squeezed juices (of fruits we had never heard of), eating Açai and working on our tans. (You should see "chocolate" Giselle).

Here is a quick summary of where and what!

Aracaju, Sergipe: Picture a kilometre of sand before you can even see the water, lots of surfers, coconut sellers and teenage girls taking self portraits which we assume were heading straight to facebook....... That was Aracaju.

Oh also, the day before we left whilst commenting on how safe and clean the city felt we picked up the newspaper and read "316 murders in the last 5 months in Sergipe" - Time to go !

Maceio, Alagoas: A bit of a city, however the main charm was turquoise waters in which you sail out to natural rock pools 2km´s out to sea on a picturesque (jangada) mini sailboat. We were fortunate enough to be on board with 3 pastors from Nth Brasil and a toothless captain. Upon exchanging names the pastors exclaimed  "ahhhh Giselle Bitch" we assumed Giselle Bundchen?
We also saw Men in Black 3.

Jacuma, Paraiba: Managed to score ourselves a condo type room right on the beach. It included sunbeds, an exquisite breakfast and 4 days of crook guts for Brett. Lots of book reading and trips to the toilet. Found ourselves in the middle of a local community party which closely resembled a Bar Mitzvah. There was even a lady who sang the local song while we all line danced. If you are lucky one day Brett will give you his rendition of the song!

Praia Da Pipa, Rio Grande Do Norte: To sum Pipa up if you walk 10 minutes away from the main beach you get to a pristine beach equipped with noone else around, clear water, arid red cliffs and.....................

DOLPHINS !! ("Golfinhos" in portuguese) No futher than 10 metres out from shore, at hip depth, along side us as we swam. This happened multiple times on 3 different days. Jealous? They were close enough to hear the water being blown out of their blow hole. Giselle was pretty much Ariel and Brett was clearly Eric.

Did we mention there were dolphins?

Fortaleza, Ceara: What to do with one day in Fortaleza? Go the equivalent of "wet and wild". That was all.

The highlights this time are a little treat for you.

Ignore all the ads, scroll half way down the page and then hit download to the right and above the thumbnail of Brett with the play sign on his face.
