Fiesta Bahia Salvador

... which I'm convinced they will do in the future. Caught the bus back to Salvador at noon hoping to catch a connecting bus to Rio sometime in the afternoon, but all the buses were fully booked to Rio today, ****!!! There are only seats available for tomorrow's departures. Looks like I'm staying in Salvador for another night. I caught a local bus to the Peloriniho and went back ...

... than expected. Better to arrive early than late I suppose but I'll now have to arrange a couple of extra nights in a hostel. The bus journey to Salvador is a whopping 27 hours. Will arrive sometime tomorrow afternoon. Due to arriving early in Salvador I'll be staying in the city for 10 days now. The carnival doesn't officially start until the 19th of February but I've been told the entire month is one huge party. I'm going to be a physical ...

... she felt bad for him, as I was telling it to him straight I don´t want his attention,if he wants friendship I´m in - but get his hands off me.. I said I have enough problems with men already to have one more :-). After a while he accepted it, but Denise said he was following me like a love sick puppy. He is going to be the security guard for the last night I have in Bahia for the Ivete and Chiclete show at Pria Do Forte and he tells me he is going to let me into the ...

... hitting him but then think it is not probably the best idea and just continue walking. That´s the way Salvador is, that´s the Pelourinho.<br><br><br>From the Pelourinho, four elevators (Lacerda elevator) can take you down ...

... food at very affordable prices. A trip through the slave church is also worth a visit - Very enthustic tour given in Portuguese - very entertaining !! We buy very little in Salvador however the trip down to the market on the harbor is a good place to find some small silver charms for Ems charm bracelett! Advice to anyone travelling to Salvador is there are some great places to have drinks or dins on the hill in San Antonio. The views are super!!

... from england that was staying at our hostel. This guy was threatened at gunpoint just a few streets from our hostel. They ended up taking his watch, but he refused to give them his wallet. He ended telling them to **** themselves and they fired a round at or around him. It didnt hit, but he said it sounded like a blank. Still, if i had a gun pointed at my face, i probably would have **** my pants and happily handed the ...

... so far. <br><br>We took our emergency exit seats complete with extra leg room (well done Katie!) and settled back for the two hour flight down the east coast to the city of Salvador. <br><br>Before we started our epic 9 month journey I didn't hear a bad word about Salvador, in fact everyone who mentioned it absolutely RAVED about it. So it was one of those ...

... out and no one really had any idea where to go. We started out trying to get more information on camarotes which are basically stands or buildings on the side of carnival where you can watch from the sidelines instead of being in the street. They provide bathrooms, drinks, water, etc. so we thought it might be a good idea. It turned out it was going to be at least 150 dollars a person to have access to a camarote so we decided to feel it out on the streets and if we felt ...

... fans thought the game was over. The Giants driving down the field and scoring the game winner was crazy, the whole room erupted. Everyone knows that I'm the biggest Giants fan on the boat, I wore my jersey and hat a few days the week before the game, on gameday, and the day after. I was getting congrats all week which was pretty cool. I still cannot believe that the Giants are Superbowl champs. Wow. That's all I can really say about our time in Brazil so far. The ...
