Hotel Yeruti La Paloma

... every day is with great waves, some days are calm, green, clear, with an incredible peace. It seems that this beach has all the moods (angry, peaceful, playful ..) The foam blanket is another thing that haunts us all. And his sunset ...

We look for a hotel to stay, some were dirty. We end up staying in a hotel ...

... for the cold weather to pass. Apparently it is about 5 degrees colder at the moment than normal.

25th - A nice lazy day, mainly sitting inside with the fire going, although in the afternoon it was quite pleasant outside and we had a gorgeous red sky at sunset. Since we will be staying here for a while and only taking local walks we will not write anymore until we move on.

... tous les éclairs! Mais bon, avec la quantité de viande que j'avais dans l'estomac, je me suis réveillé trente secondes, et je suis reparti à dormir comme un bébé... ;) Le lendemain main tout était trempé, alors nous avons attendu l'après-midi pour aller nous promener avec Margrethe et Terkel. Il y avait encore une mer de fin de tempête et un vent fort, et en haut du phare de La Paloma ça souffait! Le lendemain matin, une fois le soleil revenu, avec Adrian nous sommes allés nous ...

... to join Anthea and Claire as they headed out on bikes. Now those of you who know me well know that Katrina and bikes do not mix. At all. I will, walk, bus, run, drive, any form of transport to avoid the bicycle, but today I faced my fears (and I have photographic evidence which will be uploaded once I work out how to do so!). They say you never forget how to ride a bike and today that was proved to be true when I attempted riding a bike for the first time in probably ...

... and on a couple of evenings we wander down to the yacht club just to watch the sun go down aahhh. On our final day we rent a golf cart to explore a little further afield. Not exactly cool but cheap and effective. We head out along the coast road towards Sheraton resort and golf club and the beaches as we get to the Sheraton we get out and have a look at some of the houses that are for sale as part of the complex. These are really amazing places with some spectacular ...

... took you through different periods in time around the world. It was a lot like the British Museum except pretty much nothing was original! Some very nice replicas though! We took a long walk down to the judicial palace for a photo and on the way back into town saw some furniture on fire by the side of the road. Stopped to take a picture (can´t remember why!) and a scary looking guy came after us mumbling something, possibly about ...

... 99), and supreme court whose judges are proposed by the President and approved by the senate. The vice president serves as president of the Senate, and a speaker is elected annually to head up the house. We were able to see both houses and also traversed the tunnel which connects the legislative building to the administrative building that houses the legislators offices.

... not much to say about this town, we´ll introduce you to the stinky bucket. Here in south america the plumbing isn´t so hot and therefore can´t take of all things, toilet paper. So instead you throw it into the bucket beside the toilet, therefore becoming quite stinky indeed. Ty refused to believe this thru most of brazil (who knows how much damage he´s caused), but now it´s become common place for both of us.

... the phone, ¨umm yeah, like you should definitely come but I might be traveling so you know...whatever.¨ I have a little more attachment to my parents than Patrick. I have always been characterized as the kid in sixteen candles who does not want to go to the school dance but would rather stay at home with his parents. Yes, i´m proud of it too. Suffice it to say, the three of us spent every waking, and sleeping hour together, except ofcourse when I was forced ...

... or any time any place, has a shiny thermus flask tucked under their arm and a mate cup with metal straw. You just fill up your mate cup which is full of mate leaves, from your thermus and pass it to all your friends. The bus drivers even have a special compartment to hold the flask and cup. You don´t seem to be able to order mate in cafes or anything so it seems to be a do it yourself tradition.
