Best Western Solar Porto de Galinhas

... sabiam os fazendeiros que alí estavam os novos escravos do tráfico ilegal daquela época. 

Hoje Porto de Galinhas é um dos grandes pontos turísticos do Brasil. Localiza-se no litoral sul de Pernambuco e dispõe de arrecifes bem próximos a praia que formam piscinas naturais na maré baixa. Estas piscinas naturais podem ser visitadas através de um passeio de "Jangada" (embarcação tradicional dos pescadores da região). Para além disto, Porto de Galinhas est ...

Nach einem kleinen, schnellen und obendrein kostenlosen Cafezinho, den wir von ein** sehr nett lächelnden Brasilian**in bekommen, geht die Fahrt weit**. Bis jetzt sind wir etwa 5 km gefahren es ist beinahe 12 und wir haben noch keine Probe genommen! Nach weit**en 70 km Fahrt, während d** sich imm** wied** die riesigen Zuck**rohrfeld** mit d** üppigen Mata Atlantica abwechseln, folgen wir blind G ...

... cold!!! That night after a tough afternoon on the beach we shopped in the little trinket shops had an okay Italian diner (it wasn't Pizza! All we have been eating is pizza!) and off to bed. The next morning we decided to get away from all the action and walked 45 minutes down the beach to a deserted little area where we could enjoy the sun and waves without families chatting in Portuguese around us! That night many drinks again but off to ...

... até me deu bronca por não ter pedido hospedagem a ela em lugar de procurar albergue, na hora se ofereceu para nos alojar. Ficamos lá até o final, Vanessa voltou para o Rio e eu no dia seguinte rumei a João Pessoa. Gostei desses lugares que visitei, mas são também um tanto pasteurizados. Na praia de Porto de Galinhas, a cada passo vem alguém oferecer uma das barracas que ocupam toda a faixa de areia - não se paga nada contanto que se faça uma refeição bem cara ali. E apesar ...

... of the dog. The lady had a lovely colourful dress on like the others, a bottle of beer in one hand, can't remember if it was actually in her mouth, her legs up in the air, spread wide, no pottery knickers and a very anatomically correct genital area. No dog though. Mmmm... something to take home to give as a present, to your nanna maybe? Back to the ship. We needed to decide what we wanted to do for the rest of the afternoon and here's we're ...

... little quite town gets filled with people during the time of Carnival. From everything I have heard from everyone, Carnival seems to be the time to come to this place, Brazil in general but surprisingly not Rio. But that is something I will have to experience for myself! I tried Cocada, which is basically coconut sweet made from coconuts which are fried. It was delicious! I also tried Tapioca, which is pastry made with cheese and wait for it...coconuts! Day 4, June 5th 2007 ...

... kunnen genieten. De voorstelling kostte 5 reais (2 euro) p.p.! Misschien verklaart dat waarom er zoveel mensen te laat komen, zelfs tot 10 minuten voor het einde komen ze nog binnendruppelen. Weer een cultuurverschil? Nog een leuke bezienswaardigheid is het Casa do Cultura. Tot 1975 was dit een gevangenis, daarna is het ingericht als centrum voor kunstnijverheid (oftewel toeristenwinkeltjes). Het bijzondere is dat de cellen nog steeds als zodanig herkenbaar zijn. Elk winkeltje ...

... in Porto de Galinhas couldn't have been more of a contrast to our recent beach experience at Edmundo's Cabanas. Peace and tranquillity was replaced with the hubbub of thousands of revellers anxious to celebrate Brazil's Independence Day on September 7th . Thinking ourselves to be totally incognito amongst the throngs, imagine our surprise when we just happened (not only once, but twice) to run into Gláucio - one of the divers we had met in the whale watching village of ...

... and we continued walking. Night After Diego left the Galinhas we started sightseeing in the shops. In the night we went to a nice bar with live music, but a girl was singing. She sang just for fun, because she had a bit of time ;) ... but we could enjoy her nice voice. It was only a pity that she only showed her back.

... beloved snorkelling mask was fumbled in the foam, never to be seen again. This was very sad news. Without my snorkelling mask, I was left with only one thing to do on my trip -the thing I hated: walking. Nevertheless ... "Press on!" I said and set off up one of the rocky peaks. I followed a path for a short distance, but it disagreed with me over which way to go. So, I pulled my backpack tight and jaunted into the off-trail forest. I had to ...
