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 ...

Woke up to fabulous views of the beach no more than a few meters away. We seem to be staying in the deluxe apartments, (3 bedroom/bathroom, so we each have en-suite), even though we booked the cheaper ones. They have outside hammocks, huge beanbags, lots of comfy chairs and are finished off inside to v high spec. "Result o'clock" as Mr Verdier would say.<br> <br>And it gets better when we discover that we can kitesurf straight from ...

... we realised that we didn't know where we were staying, as our local contact hadn't told us. We just hoped the taxi driver did! He dropped us outside this very quiet apartment in pitch black which was locked......where was LOupey &amp; Alex??? At this point I am a little concerned, esp as my mobile appears to have lost signal. Alex goes off to find the security guard and chat to him in Portuguese ...

Me and Lisseth went to Beach Park today! Its a water park outside of fortaleza, like those in the United States, it was great!! We had alot of fun. It was her first time in a park like this. This is the only one in South America of this size. Wave pools, water rides, the works!! Brazil is very impressive, very developed, great infrastructure and alternatives to travel to other cities, which is important to me.<br><br>Check out the picks!<br><br><br><br>

OK everybody! Im gettin close! Closer to paradise!<br><br>The northeast of Brazil is distincly different than the south (Rio, Sao Paolo). Beautiful beaches, fresher air, less people, less hustlers and peace and quiet. The city leaves alot to be desired though, its really not developed but who cares!! Just drink coconut water and chill on the beach with my peruvian chica all day ...

... roads, the only way vehicles that could get around were either 4wds or small `buggy`type cars that they also used for tours around the sands dunes which surrounded the town and local area. As we stopped on the bus, in the town snad square we were met by people talking to us in Hebrew thinking we were Israeli, trying to get us to go to there particular hostel, after a few moments of looking blank the pitch was down in English and we were ...

... plop plop of hooves on sand. On our way back, the horses were hungry so galloped so fast Jen (laughing hysterically) thought she was going to pop right off her horse. We had a lot of fun, so much fun Jeff didn't realize the stirrups had carved big holes in his shins until we got off! The guidebook says that Jeri has lost its small fishing village status but its charm still casts a spell on travelers. We agree. There is something magical about this far flung ...

We tried sleeping with the air con last night (which costs an extra 5 Reals!) and slept much better than the night before, despite Katie picking up a few more bites to add to her impressive collection of mosquito art! <br><br>It had rained all night and was still raining when we peered outside, so ...

... they were, the more we ignored them!<br><br>After seven months travelling we've developed the knack of just taking our time, strapping on our backpacks and ignoring anyone who thrusts anything in our face while we do so.<br><br>Anyone that waits for us to get ready will get our attention. <br ...

... on the same day at the same time, amazing coincidence. Cat gets in as much time as she can as the teaching her is excellent, but she has to start fresh again since her course in Costa Rica was so poor. After two days of kite surfing, Woodise is now as keen as mustard, despite a very red nose she is desperate to continue, but alas we are thwarted by the weather. I am only able to kite surf on the one day but ...
