... MB: What is your name?<br>Me: Vicki<br>MB: What? Bea-seen?<br>Me: Erm no, Victoria&#8230;<br>MB: Ah, Vitoria!<br>Me: Yeah, that&#8217;s close enough<br>MB: Are you married?<br><br>Usually I have to answer with &#8220;no&#8221; at this point and it leads to endless compliments (usually about my eyes), marriage proposals and a general sense of awkwardness and I cannot explain in Portuguese exactly why I don&#8217;t want to go and live with them forever ...

... tar to bounce sounds around. <br><br>We wandered around the town a bit and found a nice restaurant for dinner - FRESH prawns fished that day pasta - YUM! Washed down with what will be the first of many Caipirinha's (Rum, sugar, lime and ice) Our conversation covered the topic: how can we live here instead of London...own a posada? own a bar? open and per kilo ice cream shop? :) Satisfied but exhausted we retired to our air ...

... we loved the nightlife here. We will never forget wandering round the beach and laughing with the "English couple", star gazing with Jan and the waiter JP at an empty Dos Ventos, and our last night partying with Randy and Millie's (the English girls) and on lawn chairs out in front of their hostel. Where else but Jeri do all your friends show up at the bus stop to bid you tearful a goodbye? - Ingride (pronounced ingrideee) and At Home. Or our host at her ...

... with any kind of fruit you can imagine. Also Derek had some grilled meat on a stick and I had the best grilled cheese on a stick I have ever tasted in Brazil. We had dinner and then watched another show we came across that was a mix of tribal dancing and capoeira that was very intriguing. We hated leaving this pousada and will definitely go back, maybe with a group of friends next time.

... how heavily they were marketing this place to get it going, because there was not really anything there! It will be a cool place if it takes off, because between the ocean and the beach, there is a skinny piece of land that protects an area next to the beach where there are no waves. It gets REALLY windy there so can be a bit choppy however. I was nervous, especially since we were there only ones there, and ...

... very first 'caipirinhas', the drink that's a Brazilian institution. <br><br>They were really strong, but really good! <br><br>We also ordered a bottle of Chilean Cab to go with our pasta and risotto, why the hell not, we'll be home in a month! ;) <br><br> <br><br>After a very pleasant meal in a lovely restaurant we walked back to our hostel and as it was a lot quieter than earlier we were able to finish off the film ...

... driver that he was robbing us and that there was no way that ride cost R$45, but his only reply was that sometimes in cost as much as R$110. I wasn't in the mood to argue with him, so I just gave him the money and thanked him for ripping us off because Erin looked American. We were too sleep-deprived to jot down his information as he pulled away, but we're not going to let that happen again.

... richting Jeri. Het is een schattig dorpje, wel toeristisch maar zeker geen massa. Veel bontgekleurde huizen, winkeltjes met allerlei creatieve, zelfgemaakte spulletjes en alleen zandwegen. We nemen onze intrek in een eenvoudige pousada en genieten van een lange douche. Voor ons is dit pure luxe! Aan het eind van het strand is een hoge duin en aan het eind van de middag klimmen veel mensen daarop om vanaf de top van de zonsondergang te genieten. Wij ...

... andere mensen hebben we genoten, of het nu medezeilers, locals of overgekomen familie en vrienden waren. We komen tot de conclusie dat we het heerlijk vinden om samen dit avontuur te beleven, we blijken dit samen kunnen en genieten ervan. We hebben volop geleefd en ervaringen opgedaan die we nooit zullen vergeten. Het is door alle "eerste keren" en het vele klussen aan de boot ook een onrustig jaar geweest. We hebben het gevoel dat we nu, een jaar later, zo langzamerhand meer rust aan ...
