Pousada Vila Kalango Jericoacoara

... Aprendi que o silicone também sucumbe à gravidade, mas dá mais luta!<br><br>A ideia era seguir de Cali para a costa no lado pacífico, para a cidade portuária de Buenaventura, mas depois de uma pesquisa rápida na net, o Eston descobriu que os tipos têm um taxa de homícidio 17 vezes, ou coisa que o valha, a mais que NY! Sinceramente, nem que tivesse a mesma taxa que NY eu lá punha os pés! Aquilo é lugarejo minúsculo, como pode haver tanto gajo para meter bala?! Algo me diz que estão ...

Jericoacoara is voted one of the most beautyful beaches in the world. I could argue about that but def Jeri offers a unique, one of a kind atmosphere and t's a remote, hidden from civilisation village that drives you in a relaxing mood. <br>Jeri lies approximently 300 km of Fortaleza and can be easly accessed by bus that departures from Fortaleza&#8217;s main bus station twice a day. Once it was a sleepy ...

After conquering Roraima we had 2 nights to chill out at Santa Elena to recouperate and clean our stenchy clothes (one t-shirt which I think Eugene wore for 6 days straight!). We hopped on the truck and started the 2 day drive into Brazil. We reached the boarder crossing which was pretty straight forward and spent our first night camping with the truck in the middle of no where in the north of Brazil. We had to pass through an Indian reserve where no one is ...

... word to the wise is to leave an offering of bananas to appease the locals before going to bed! :)<br><br>Back in Manaus, our group checked into our hostel(s) and then went out for dinner. Unfortunately we such a big group -- plus one guy from Northern Ireland we picked up along the way to the hostel -- it was difficult to eat at a nicer restaurant while maintaining some backpacker´s tighter budgets. We settled on an all-you-can-eat pizzeria that was in ...

... owner and his family to talk to in some mixture of Portuguese and Spanish. The tv was handy though as the weather turned wet on me. Watched the Pool kind of dismantle United (well on the scoreboard anyway). TV is a bit strange in Brazil - mixture of informercials, gospel channels, football, livestock (loads of cattle mart type channels) and news. No English channels like in the Spanish speaking countries and no movies in ...

... to Carrefour to buy suppliesfor the boat trip. That night was a bit hectic as we scrambled to pack our stuff for the boat, then watch a movie ( brazilian for a change) Ultima Parada 174, a violent story about Brazilian street kids. We said goodbye to Leo in the morning, then Adriana dropped us at the boat, and we said our goodbyes, hopefully we will see her in Peru. We had a great time couchsurfing in Manaus with Adriana and Leo, and our now ready to start our trip down the Amazon.

... Ondanks dat het surfen een lichte deceptie was is mijn enthousiasme over Jeri niet afgenomen... Zon, zee, strand, vriendelijke mensen, feest en coctails... wat wil je nog meer :) Het heeft even geduurd voordat ik echt verkocht was qua reizen en Brazillie maar nu is het dan zover... Onze volgende stop zal Canoe Quebrada zijn... moet iets soortgelijks zijn dus het plan is om daar de laatste dagen van Jelmer zijn trip te gaan chillen.

... on the live text service (which was greeted with a very loud obsenity from the writer!), after which Big Sami equalised, which prompted another bout of more positive swearing!<br><br>The football fans among you reading this will know that after these first two goals the game went absolutely ...

... was super friendly. In fact, the whole town was very friendly. Must be the whole laid back surfing culture + the fact that everybody except for us seemed to be smoking marijuana. Anyway, we asked one of the guys at the campsite where we could get a cheap breakfast, and he took us to a bakery in town. After breakfast, both Erin and I were super excited to take surf lessons. We got ...

... dehydration - in Iceland we'd use salt pills and water, but in Manaus all you could get was a special drink with all the minerals the body loses in cases like mines, so I drank that - later realized, while reading the ingredients, that it pretty much contains the same stuff as Powerade and Gatorade, just in bigger quantities. So I'll know what I'll be drinking the next time. But now I really had to sleep.<br><br>When I woke up later that same morning, I went in search of ...
