Novotel Natal Ladeira Do Sol

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... 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 ...

... the beach having a cold beer and hawkers will come past selling EVERYTHING you could imagine.. hammocks, cds, rails of clothes, wooden ships, fresh fish, paintings, sunglasses.. its just insane. All the teenage boys have converted wheelbarrows with a battery inside and a car radio on the outside as they come past blasting music and selling their copied cds.. its hilarious. The next minute a man with a wheelbarrow ...

From Recife we travelled to Natal, then onwards to Praia de Pipa - another picturesque beachtown in the North. Slightly more developed than Jericoacoara, the main streets of Pipa are modern enough to allow car access and are littered with numerous boutiques, expensive restaurants and guest houses. But it was easy to forget all of this whilst lying on one of the numerous amazing beaches - which were ...

... guns ... oh my god ... there was an undercover police also with a gun. And he started to shoot one of the criminals in the head, all the blood in the bus. I saw the cloth of the people from israel, all had blood on it. The other criminals soot as well so that some passagers in the bus were hurt as well. One of the isral girls was shoot in her leg. I could`t believe that this really was happening ... This is really a scarry story. The next text is just from the newspaper, but ...

... não me sinto nem fraco nem cansado, isso só acontece quando não estou fazendo nada. :) Mas nem sempre é fácil encontrar o que comer, muitas vezes não posso nem escolher, tenho de aceitar o que aparece. Outras vezes tenho de dividir a refeição em pedacinhos - macaxeira e salada aqui, açaí ali, pão com ovo lá e continuando até completar o estômago. Estou aprendendo ainda, de vez em quando é complicado mas estou vivendo... tem gente que come carne e está morrendo. :P

I arrive in Pipa (or Pria de Pipa I belive is the offical name) which is a gorgeous beach village that is frequented by international celebrities. The beaches are surrounded by large majestic cliffs and dolphins visit Pipa every day (which leads to some humorous tales later on). I find the hostel where Sid is staying but he´s not there, even though I told homeboy to meet me there at 12:00 noon. So I head to one of the beaches and as I´m ...

... bus and have my bags go to Natal without me. Seriously, I´m worried. So I finish eating and then I walk past the restaurant at the rodovaria and I see everyone who was on the bus including the driver sitting down to a proper meal. ****, they have plates with all this awesome food on it and all I had were a couple of chicken pastries. Grrr, I now have no time to eat at the restaurant as I´ve already wasted probably 8 minutes. I laugh once again at my ...

... er twintig met een gebaar dat dat voldoende was. Hij weg naar de baas en vervolgens nog twee keer terug, maar we verstonden hem niet! Echt géén idee wat ie bedoelde! Afijn dat was dus een hoge Caipi index! Een paar dagen gingen we met de bus heen en weer naar het hotel en genoten van de luxe. Dan kwam het moment van afscheid en met de transfer mochten we mee naar de aeroporto. Arjan en Marjolein waren er al en we dronken nog wat samen. Er moest ook nog, "vertrekbelasting" betaald ...

... done for you. Oh, yeah - that IS like my private home - hello mum and dad! It became a very social hostal and we all went out together most nights. I could go on about all the wonderful people I met, but thats really boring reading in all honesty, as none of them are such caricatures as Nelson and Richie so Im not going to. The long and the short of it is that we eventually tore ourselves away from Pipa, but it was really hard: if you ever get the chance to go, take it!
