BRAZIL - Jericoacoara - Recife - Olinda - Salvador - Morro de Sao Paulo

Jericoacoara

Jericoacoara

From Manaus, we decided to skip the final boat ride from there to Belem and instead we flew into Fortaleza. From there we took a bus to the beach of Jericoacoara, one of the Brazilians' favorite beaches. We can understand why.

Our hotel was owned by a Russian young lady who used to live in Denmark. She was very nice and we used to speak danish to one another.

I don't think Chile would allow these kind of statues....fortunately, we are in Brazil, where people don't waste time worrying about censoring nudity.

After our days in Olinda and Recife, we took the bus to Salvador de Bahia. Worst bus ride ever. Brazilians are not quiet people and when it's late and you are tired and want to sleep at 2:00 AM, you don't appreciate when people listen to loud music in the bus and speak loudly on their phones without worrying about others.

We stayed in Zimbo, a small, family place in the 4th beach. The owners were fantastic, they even brought me warm tea one night when they saw I had gotten a cold.

This is one of the "most beautiful sunsets in the world", according to the locals. After everything we traveled, we still believe sunsets over the Pacific, over the Andes or over the Amazon river beat others.
