Pousada Koala Porto de Galinhas

... besucht. Er hat seit 13 Jahren eine Tauchschule (AICA-Diving) in PdG und wir denken, Hilla und Matjes duerften sich noch an ihn und seine Familie erinnern. Wir haben sofort abgemacht, das Betânia, nachdem sie 10 Jahre lang Edgar nur beim Tauchen zugesehen hat, endlich auch ihre "Unterwassertaufe" macht. Die weiteren Tage haben wir mit Schnorcheln, Jangada-Touren, leckerem Essen verbracht und viele Fotos dabei geschossen.<br><br>Gruesse, Betânia und Edgar

... manos Jeep, sie beschließen in Absprache mit uns, die Mata Atlantica, die natürliche Vegetation des Küstenstreifens, zu beproben. D** Zugang gestaltet sich schwi**ig, wir v**lassen die Straße. Wir finden einen g**odeten, wass**durchtränkten Talgrund vor, d** umgeben ist von dies** natürlichen Vegetation. Bei dem V**such, den Wald zu **reichen, bleibt d** Jeep fast in dem weichen Unt**grund stecken. Ratlosigkeit. Schließlich findet sich ein einheimisch** Bau**, d** b**eit ist ...

... até me deu bronca por não ter pedido hospedagem a ela em lugar de procurar albergue, na hora se ofereceu para nos alojar. Ficamos lá até o final, Vanessa voltou para o Rio e eu no dia seguinte rumei a João Pessoa. Gostei desses lugares que visitei, mas são também um tanto pasteurizados. Na praia de Porto de Galinhas, a cada passo vem alguém oferecer uma das barracas que ocupam toda a faixa de areia - não se paga nada contanto que se faça uma refeição bem cara ali. E apesar ...

... of the dog. The lady had a lovely colourful dress on like the others, a bottle of beer in one hand, can't remember if it was actually in her mouth, her legs up in the air, spread wide, no pottery knickers and a very anatomically correct genital area. No dog though. Mmmm... something to take home to give as a present, to your nanna maybe? Back to the ship. We needed to decide what we wanted to do for the rest of the afternoon and here's we're ...

... little quite town gets filled with people during the time of Carnival. From everything I have heard from everyone, Carnival seems to be the time to come to this place, Brazil in general but surprisingly not Rio. But that is something I will have to experience for myself! I tried Cocada, which is basically coconut sweet made from coconuts which are fried. It was delicious! I also tried Tapioca, which is pastry made with cheese and wait for it...coconuts! Day 4, June 5th 2007 ...

... kunnen genieten. De voorstelling kostte 5 reais (2 euro) p.p.! Misschien verklaart dat waarom er zoveel mensen te laat komen, zelfs tot 10 minuten voor het einde komen ze nog binnendruppelen. Weer een cultuurverschil? Nog een leuke bezienswaardigheid is het Casa do Cultura. Tot 1975 was dit een gevangenis, daarna is het ingericht als centrum voor kunstnijverheid (oftewel toeristenwinkeltjes). Het bijzondere is dat de cellen nog steeds als zodanig herkenbaar zijn. Elk winkeltje ...

... grilled cheese, wooden sailing ships, oysters, prawns, more chicken motiffs, jewerllery and even more cheese. went for a walk down to the next beach where there were "tours" to see the sea horses in the river, saw some but only from a glass jar which one of the guys had caught some. tried to snokel to see some but too no avail. Met up with a Brazilain guy Gil on holidays from the south who was very willing for us four to travel in his citroen with our ...

In Porto de Galinhas gebeurt niet zoveel, en dat willen ze hier graag zo houden. Misschien is dat de reden dat het hele dorp in de ban is van Juan Carlos Fernandez uit Uruguay. Juan was deze week te gast in onze gezellige pousada. Wij vonden hem een beetje vreemde snuiter. De naar schatting 55-jarige Juan zag er keurig verzorgd uit, gebruind en afgetraind, knikte je vriendelijk Bom Dia, maar lag verder de hele dag in andermans hangmatten, liep ...

... SNORKEL AT A RIVER OF MANGROVES. These items were just plain stupid. To reach the first place, I walked across straw-colored grass and past the occasional round bush. The water stretched for a kilometer, but it was never deeper than two inches, unless you counted the mud I sunk in. I imagine the squid sent me here because there were blue crabs running around, and he disagreed with my selection for ITEM 4. The second place was a pretty, wide brown river with no shore except mangroves ...

... for a mile on exposed reef, hoping the tide wouldn't come in. When they arrived at the other side, they found themselves stranded at an Industrial Plant, with nothing in front of them but a ten-kilometer river. Ha. I bet Cesar would've loved to have met them. Presently, Cesar was finishing his tirade about the "tubarons" (sharks) and "moreis" (eels) in the river. When he finished laughing from this, he turned to a friend and said, "Ele querei ...
