... of up to 5 at a time.<br><br>So yesterday we moved on to a small beach place called Pipa. We took 3 local buses and arrived here at about 4pm. On our last bus we met a really nice Israeli couple called Ruby and Gilly who are also on their honeymoon having got married 2 days before us. <br><br>Pipa was buzzing when we arrived.. so much more life than Genipabu.. restaurants that are even open in the evening!!! We settled into our guesthouse Xama for the night and went for dinner ...

... into a portable bbq comes by offering to rustle you up some prawns. Its non stop but the vibe is like no where else either of us have been. The vista is beautiful - huge expansive beach with an enormous sand dune at one end. The beach is smattered with umbrellas and loungers housing Brazilian and Portuguese holiday makers predominantly. The locals dont speak a great deal of english but we are getting by with lots of ...

After almost missing the bus in Recife, and paying waaaaaay to much for a cab ride(stupid tourists...) we made it to Praia da Pipa, a "global village" about 3 hours north of Olinda/Recife. At this point I am getting rather sick of being jostled with people constantly trying to sell me things for outragues prices. I miss looking for things if I want them, and approaching sales people/taxi drivers/hotel receptionists/waiters etc.... if I need something. Even just getting ...

Today is my birthday and we will start our sampling trip. I was really afraid, because I had all the responsibility and the money for the trip. It will be the first big thing I will do, but OK I guess I can survive it ;) I was happy that some of the students and the brazilians rememb**ed my birthday, because often the people forget it, because it is in the holidays normally. Christian ...

... fobia alheia para aliviar a própria. Os lugares visitados no passeio até que eram interessantes [com exceção dos ridículos camelos que cobravam (eles não, seus donos) 25 reais para um passeio de 15 minutos], mas fica-se pouco em cada um. Ainda tive a oportunidade de fazer um papel ridículo na hora de descer o que chamam de 'aerobunda' - uma cadeirinha de pano presa a uma corda por onde se desce do alto de uma duna até se dar com a bunda no lago que fica ...

... she tells me that Flavia thinks I´m beautiful, Word up biatch. But she also tells me that she´s been with her boyfriend for awhile now and that they are pretty tight, well at least that´s what I gathered from her broken english and my less than stellar understanding of portuguese. Anyways, she gives me Flavia´s number, which I have no idea why I didn´t get it the other night. Guess it slipped my mind. So, I end up meeting this other 19 year old ...

... two mediums, the usual medium - air in which sound waves travel and a 2nd medium - his friend who acts as sort of interim translator as he speaks pretty good english. Naturally I end up talking to his friend for most of the time we are stranded, as his english is much better than my portuguese. He ends up cracking a joke which was really funny - he points to the area behind us and he says `look Texas´and by golly he wasn´t fooling, it totally did ...

... camel rides etc. I think Amit got his adrenalin fix! We had to cross a few rivers, and 1 crossing was by going on a wooden raft and being punted across! A bit like you`d expect in Vietnam. Day 15 Natal We went on another buggy safari today, this time to the south coast. We were escorted by a couple from Sao Paulo who were in their 50s, so no emotion today (although we did managed to get a flat tyre). The ride ...

... there was no in-your-face forcing of restaurants and services on you (well, OK not too much) and there were a LOT of hippies; Sarah bought jewellry that would have totalled enough to fund a small revolution... if it werent all made out of worthless seeds. There was something going on every night too, and without exception the same band of 3 guys provided the entertainment. They were versatile to say the least, as we went to nights ranging from reggae, thru samba to ...
