... money was spent on the churches, we went to two. We were only going to one, the church of Saint Francis, the main door was close and so we went to one side and without realising actually went into a different church. This one as we now know is the only church in Brazil with the extravagant churreesque carving (cannot remember how to spell it but it is close), The church and carvings date from the late 1700's, but of particular note are the extensive azueleo ...

... leiligheten kjopte billetter til en bloco (en plass i paraden) med en kjent dj som heter David Guetta. Dvs, alle unntatt Magnus og Jens, som dro til Buenos Aires natten for..:( Det var helt utrolig morsomt :) Og helt villt! Vi hadde to enorme busser og to skol-biler som kjorte i blocoen vaar. Og det var stappfullt, og naar Guettas mest kjente sanger ble spilt hoppet absolutt alle opp og ned som ville, hehe.. Det var ...

... pure genius and joy to contrast... Pelourinho is the santised commercialised and cleaned up version. Cool, but its Disney land where you see your favourite characters and go on joy rides... Today, after Denises first dance class - she loved it - we went to the Cidade Baixa the place they dont want the tourists to go too, because it´´s dangerous,but real. The place I went to first on my first day here last year (as did Denise on her trip this time) and we loved it more ...

I have decided to go into the country and research parteiras, the traditional Brazilian midwives. Brazil has the #1 highest c-section rate in the WORLD, and I am ...

Spent a couple more nights in Salvador, but this time in the upmarket beachside suburb of Barra. It ****** down most of the two days, so going to the beach, my main idea, was quashed. So I went ot the movies and did a bit of shopping instead. Bought Charlie an awesome African/Brasillian birthday present.

... and locals we enjoyed every minute of it. This is the night life of Salvador we were looking for!!! Sunday was very much a day of rest and we finally emerged from our hotel around 1 pm to have some fruit sorbet!! Very slow walking around the town but since there was basically nothing open we did not mind so much. That night we had booked a our to see a Candomle ceremony. We were told to dress in clean light color clothing and told to eat well ...

... to make sure I really do never come back. On the way to the bus station I was being ´safe´by getting a taxi, that was until the taxi driver fell asleep at the wheel THREE TIMES!!! He swerved all over the road, had cars beeping and flashing him and then I started to cry and had to scream at him to walk him up! I have never been so afraid in all my life! As a result I left a lovely stain for him to clean up on the back seat! Nice!!
