The Big Chill
... Rio and as hard as it was for the crew to leave Roya behind, us boys have all moved on to the northern beaches of Brazil. Arrived safe and sound after our first internal flight of the trip in Natal. Nice enough so far (expensive), but first... Random ...
Dolphin Encounter!

Dolphin Beach
... the sea of Oysters, Shrimps, Muscles, fish and fresh salad - it has the reputation of being some of the best food in Brazil, we lay on the deck, drinking beer throwing oyster shells to the greedy catfish that had surrounded our boat - how decadent! ...
A KID IN THE SAND
... with my thumb out. The second truck stopped for me, making it the first time I'd pegado uma carrona, or hitched a ride in Brazil. (This calls for a photo!) I even took a dorky of photo of myself boarding the bus out of Praia de Pipa, waving a small ...
Christmassing on the beach
And so, a 2am wake up call and we were finally on our way to the NE Brazil and to a town called Pipa, where we had found a lovely villa with our own pool to spend Christmas and New Year with our friends: Timothy 'Radical Cleric' Wheeler and Jemma ...
Praia de Pipa
... a single room and bath. I spread out. View of the ocean. It has a TV. For some reason, every TV I've had in Brazil only gets a few rabbit ear channels. Even in expensive pousadas. Most other countries have cable, many with either CNN or BBC. They ...
Salvador to Pipa and beyond
We left Rio and moved north in Brazil. We stayed in Salvador de Bahia - wonderful olde worlde buildings and the best samba music in the streets. Around a million churches there too. All gorgeous. Did a day trip to PRaia de Forte. An eco village an ...
A Piece of Paradise called Pipa

Backtracking down to Praia da Pipa
... stretching for miles in either direction, cute shops, tasty restaurants and good nightlife...Three nights definitely were not sufficient! But thankfully I was there over a weekend and got a good taste of Pipa, enough to know that I have to come back ...
Natal or Pipa
... got tipped to go to the laid-back beach town of Praia da Pipa, at two hours out of Natal. When I check into a random hostel in Pipa and got assigned to a dorm, it turned out that I already knew half of the people that were staying there. The start of two ...
Bem Vindo Ao Telenovela Pipa
... a real-life soap opera? If this is something you want to experience, then you need to get yourself to Praia da Pipa in the North East of Brazil! This small beach town was a place that I was going to skip as it sounded fairly similar to Jericoacoara, ...
Christmas & New Year with the Stinneys
... a surprisingly low-key beach town when we arrived on the 24th. Surprising because the is regularly mentioned as one of Brazil's premier beach towns. It had small 2 story buildings and quaint cobbled roads through most of it, the beach, well ...
Sun, sand, sea & Dolphins!
... swimming about. We then continued on to the next beach which was quite beautiful and deserted compared to all the tourists at Pipa. I really gave my new speedo dick stickers a work out and ended up burning my thighs! After we finally arrived at Tibau Do ...
Praia de Pipa

Pipa - Chill Out Time
... restful days at this stage of my travels so I left my two buddies in Aracaju on the coast and beat it north to one of Brazil`s hippest beach towns. Wanted to head to a place where I could literally chill out by the sea and I def found that in Pipa. ...
Maracajau Day 2
We took off in a speedboat at 9:30am to go snorkling near the reef about 7 Kilometers offshore where the water is about 4 meters deep. It was the main reason to come to Maracajau as the beach was not much at all and the water dirty and full of ...
Praia da Pipa
... he also was going to Pipa so it cost us about 38 Reals each to get a taxi to take us the 80 Kilometeres down the road to Pipa. Luckily after heavy rain we made it in about 5am and the lady at the hostel was awake to let us in. I awoke about ...
Pipa Day 5
Managed to get down to Madeiro and hire myself a mini malibu. Unfortunately although my ability to get out to the waves is okay, I was unable to get up on the board before it shot out from underneath me. It was still a lot of fun though to ...
Pipa Day 6
... we headed out at low tide to dolphin bay as it is inacessible at other times and we have to enter from the main Pipa beach. So the morning was spent with 4-5 dolphins swimming around me and others for an hour of so. We ...
Frodo in Female Brazilian form
Chillin in the courtyard of the pousada (hostel or whatever you want to call it) and I see 4 monkeys in the tree. Pretty sweet, they were like squirrels running around in the US but obviously much cooler because I have never seen monkeys ...
Oh Flavia
... Tibau and we have to wait for Leiīs truck to get fixed. No problem we find a tiny bar (tiny bars are everywhere in Brazil and they amount to nothing more than a room with some alcohol, glasses and a guy to serve the alcohol and there are some ...
Swing and a miss, and two near death experiences

Maracajau Day 1
We got up at 6am and got on the bus back to Natal. This bus djust happened to be the one everyone uses to get into Natal so with so many young mothers with babies and schoolchildren the smell of carsick children it was a real pleasure for ...
Pipa and Sibauma
... tell us that the party has been moved to pipa!!! Picture 5 white ozzies dumped in the middle of a tiny rural town in northeast brazil - sibauma- we were certainly a strange sight for the locals who were all ogling us. After five or so minutes of looking ...

Well went down to Madeiro but was a little late as everybody else had the same idea and their were no surfboards to hire. Luckily the weather was perfect again and managed a bodysurf as well as a long swim. If you get a chance to get here do ...
