Pousada Maxitalia Jericoacoara

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 ...

... him instead&#8230; I can&#8217;t win!<br><br> So, this is why Jericoacara makes a refreshing change. At least that is what I thought. That only applies to the tourists, the local guys here are just the same as everywhere else. As I was alone and I don&#8217;t have a lot of money I couldn&#8217;t afford to take a tour around the local area in a dune buggy, no amount of bargaining got it down to a reasonable price. I did however find a nice guy who ...

... organised a tour for the following morning, Jeri's signature tour: Dune Buggy rides! wooohooo!<br><br>9am our little buggy rocks up with 2 co passengers (a +- duck age Brazilian couple) already in tow and rattling off merrily in Portuguese to us. We are miraculously able to understand about 50% of it *impressed with ourselves = noddy badge*. Also they had obviously had previous experience in charades. Joining a string of other ...

... felt like family. So well thought out was this guesthouse, it even came with an eccentric dog named Tuco that insisted upon sleeping on the tables and long walks (better characterized as 'drags' due to Tuco's willful nature and alpha dog tendencies). We have had amazing hosts throughout our trip, but Ingirde has to win the contest for best hostess as she brought us into her life, introduced us to all of our friends, spent quality time with us, taught us ...

... made me go out before him so he could watch me and make sure I was okay. I went to the other side and came back to the same spot just fine, so he came out. We decided to take a break after I had a big spill and go to the other side and see the beach. I go over to the land a bit further down where it was so silty and mushy, that I couldn't stand up and kept getting pulled though it on my stomach and it was ...

... pero 10 veces mejor que lo que suelo tener. Ahí tenía una habitación sólo (con 3 camas jajaj), baño privado, vista a la duna enorme y al mar, varios hamacas y sofás y un desayuno de rey ! Pasé ahí unos días realmente buenos, no haciendo nada, paseando en la playa para ver la roca con un agujero dentro (única cosas turística jeje), charlando con los del hotel (un frances, una canadiense, una de nueva zelanda, el italiano y un alemán) y ...

We're really not sleeping well in Brazil for some reason.<br><br>Last night we couldn't find the mosquito which we knew was in the room (somewhere), so we tried to go to sleep covering ourselves up, which then made us too hot to sleep! <br><br>Although we're having an amazing time over here, part of ...

... I was born without any rythm and compared to the locals, us gringos really stood out. Made worse by one of the Swiss/French (whats the difference?) asking me to dance. Grrr, why do I have to be so kindhearted?! Grrr this meant that now none of the locals would ask me after! On Christmas day I got the best present ever - perfect conditions, kitesurfing for 3hours without being dragged through the water once, riding upwind and ...

... al een eind gelopen naar het ruigere strand aan de andere kant om vanaf de rotsen naar ongelooflijk behendige parasailers en windsurfers te kijken. We besluiten daarom de duin aan ons voorbij te laten gaan en kiezen voor mooie ligbedden op een wat hoger gelegen plekje. Het levert, naast een mooie ondergaande zon, vooral leuke foto's op van het gekrioel op de duin! De volgende ochtend staat Syl al vroeg op. Op een rustig plekje op het strand, begint ze ...

... krijgen. We hebben de boot goed leren kennen en krijgen de klussen aan boord wat onder controle, een hoop dingen hebben we al eens meegemaakt en vragen dus minder tijd en energie. Hierdoor krijgen we steeds vaker het gevoel van rust en vrijheid waar we naar op zoek zijn. En dat geeft de ruimte om te reizen, te wandelen op mooie plekjes als deze en ook eens simpelweg een middag in de hangmatten door te brengen. We verheugen ons op het tweede jaar: we mogen nog tot eind augustus in ...
