Costa Do Sauipe Golf & Spa

... Don´t understand much of what they tell me (even though I speak ok Spanish) but we are definitely communicating. The daughter is a law student at the Federal university here (that I understood). Today I went to the school, to check it out even though classes for me don´t start until next week. My first impression is positive. The location is very cool, right on the ocean. It is a relatively small school but also seems to ...

... wide enough to fit prob 5 or 6 double decker buses. It was bloody enormous and really cool. I was a touch underwhelmed by the park overall - weather was against us a little the day we tried to take in views from the major peak but then that is typically South American in my experience. But I also realise that I have seen so much natural wonders on this trip so far that I am getting much more hardened and difficult to impress. It is still a beautiful park ...

... plaatsje gevonden waar het vanaf december feest zou moeten zijn. En dan zou ik een stuk dichter bij Rio zitten (aangezien ik de 25ste al in Buenos Aires wil zijn omdat Suzanne daar dan zal zijn). Lastig, lastig!! Terwijl ik hierover zit te dubben haal ik mijn waardevolle spullen uit het ´kluisje´ op de gang en bij nadere inspectie kom ik erachter dat ik zo´n R$200 mis. Als Alex zijn spullen checkt, mist hij ook zo´n R$100. Dat is dus wel kut, al is het ...

... oczywiscie caly czas na pokladzie goscie grali i tanczyli, byla tez ladna plaza - moje pozegnanie z oceanem). Jedna z najwiekszych atrakcji bylo jednak uczestniczenie we ``mszy`` condoble. Za posrednictwem agencji turystycznej wchodzi sie do domu ktorym akurat taka impreza ma miejsce no i obserwuje sie wszystko, czasami poddajac sie pewnym rytualom. Za pierwszym razem wrocilismy z kwitkiem bo przewodnik trafil na konczacy sie juz ...

... the market where my mum went into labour with me, and on the taxi ride back to our hotel, the hospital where I was born!! Our second day, (to Nige's relief- i think he'd had enough of the Barker reminiscing!), was spent checking out the real tourist sights in the Centro Historico, which is a gorgeous place of cobbled streets with people doing Capoeira, a Bahian martial art/dance, colourful buildings ...

... including the trip I'll have to do going to Recife. Objective is the US consulate; to request my visa! Its not gonna be too much expensive, although Id prefer to spend this money in US. Anyways its gonna be an excuse to have fun and travel inside Brazil. About the job hunting: I have already sent some resumes but not enough. This time is marked by the financial crises in US and I dont know how this will affect my trip. I dont know if this maybe turning my job hunting ...

... proprietor had 2 rooms available, and advised me to take the one out the back, rather than the one which looks out over the street. Why?? Because it's Tuesday, and Tuesday night is music night, and that's a massive thing here! After an hour or so acquainting myself with the Pelourinho, I then arranged to meet Paula, my tour guide for the night, and we headed out to a nearby restaurant to try the local speciality; Moqueca, a spicy seafood dish, with its roots in Africa. In ...

... to easy up! Thankfully I had Mo there to buy me cans of Skul, but it did not dull the pain that much! But finally it was done and it was time to move on to diner and drinks. That night we were so tired due to the night bus and decided to go to a tapas place at a new hostel in the old town. Although the food was not Brazilian we finally got to try the fruity caphrinas. Yum!!!! Saturday we woke and headed to Praia do Forte which is a eco ...

When we got up on Friday, we organized our bags and got ready to move right after breakfast. Breakfast didn't pack a big surprise for us - fruits, cheese, bread (but there was a toaster!) and coffee. After Breakfast we left the hostel and headed to the bus station towards the airport. We took the bus to the Aeroporto, and when we got there we checked ourselves in automatically through self service terminals of the Tam airline company. Then we ...
