Day 1
Hola!
We flew from Campo Grande to Natal, its on Brazils coastline. The weather is absolutely superb! Our hostel is 300mtrs from the beach. We went for a swim this morning and plan to relax by the pool with a few drinks in some hammocks this afternoon!!
Day 2
We went on a dune buggy ride today 56km up the Natal Coastline stopping at the beaches, lagoons, and dune parks. Our driver was mad, and our dune buggy was a heap of crap...everytime we stopped to take pictures the driver had his head under the bonet fixing it up! Oh well. Flying up and down the sand dunes was a blast...literally...got blasted with water and sand up the nose and in the ears!
We stopped at a restaurant on the sea side for lunch was lovely.
Had a great time!
Will try to put some pics online soon. Need to fill up a disk first.
Day 3
We just spent the rest of the time we had in Natal enjoying the sunshine inbetween lots of showers of rain throughout the day. Very tropical weather, but the beach water was really warm.
Day 4
Today we travelled to Praia da Pipa a beachside town south of Natal. We arrived after lunch and just roamed the streets lined with Pousadas (Hotels), Boutique shops, restaurants & bars.
For the four days we spent in Praia da Pipa we relaxed on the beach everyday soaking up the rays. The weather was beautiful. We saw dolphins in the water everyday, they were swimming very close to the shoreline. Now this is what I call Brazil!
After Praia da Pipa we travelled further south again to a small township called Olinda. Its horrible! Nothing to do - the place is full of churches and not a whole lot going on, Not to mention it has been raining the whole time. Nevermind you have to take the good with the bad while travelling I suppose.
We´re off to Salvador tommorrow for 4 days, then off to Rio!
Keep in touch
