Pousada do Buriti Barreirinhas

... the routes were lined with tamarind trees , which we tried to pluck from the branches as went passed but it was going too fast, soon enough we reached civilisation again at the town of Barreinhas, where our friendly driver put us in contact with a guy who could arrange our tour to the Lencois , so after settling into our hotel (v.quickly) we had a buffet lunch and joined a tour group heading to the national park. , The journey was again by 4WD and took about 40 ...

... rattle along sand paths all the way to the entrance. We were thrown left and right, up and down, all the way along. Vehicles aren't allowed into the park, so we climbed over the dunes by foot, to reach the first lake. We swam a bit, climbed some more, found a new lake, swam, climbed again... this continued until sunset. I'm glad we made the time to see visit this remote part of Brazil; the park is unique and ...

... w ruderze takiej zebym w katowicach do niej nie wszedl, niestety juz po pokazach bylo, jazzik na placu glownym oraz swojska imprezka obok. Tak ostatnia najciekawsza. Zeby jakos to przyblizyc to wyobrazcie sobie jakis zakatek na Slasku z familokami wokol (moze byc Zabrze czy Giszowiec). Zbira sie tam cala miejscowa zulernia. Wszystkie odcienie czarnego sa obecne, bialego calkiem nie uswiadczyc jednak (choc ...

... zdjec ktore na nim zrobilem, czasami w roznych dziwnych warunkach trzeba by oddac do czyszczenia). Teraz jestem w miasteczku, biedne ono ale spokojne nad wyraz, nic mnie tu nie straszy. Zjadlem dobre wloskie zarcie (powstrzymalem sie przed ryba choc tu port jest ale wczorajsza peixia w Sao Luiz to byla porazka) Jutro dalszy ciag pustynno-wodnych przygod! Dobranoc

... main dune as we were leaving but the group made us leave a bit earlier then planned. You could see the ocean from the top of the large dune but it was still quite far away. After the bumpy ride back we had a delicious pizza dinner and then called it an early night. The next morning we were picked up at 8:30 am and taken to the boat dock for ...

... there was nothing else in the town. To my horror there is a bus tomorrow at 5am to Barreirinhas, a place I want to do a tour at, it means I need to get there erarly to do the tour and then head up to Sao Luis - however 5 seems a little excessive - anyway, because I cant communicate with anyone to find out other times - 5 it is!!

... bit scary in parts with the deep sand. Left our shoes in the jeep and wandered up the dunes which was incredibly ungraceful and hard work. To think I missed the gym before - it was like going up a step machine for ages. Once we got to the top the views of the dunes were amazing - white sand for miles and the odd blue lake from rain water. This is the best time of year to come here as its the wet season and the lakes form in the dips. We ...

... picked up at airport by what i thought was a hostel within the hostelling international network...it was not. -on the way to the hostel, something tells me this isnt right..i ignore inner voice. -arrive at hostel..which, as many know, are usually very crowded, people milling about..it was empty. -decide to suck it up, and figure out quickest way to get into pantanal, which is where i planned to camp/hike for 4 days.. -ask front desk..get some run around ...

... do Pipa there was this great beach, dolphins jumping in the surf even. Sze-Fei and I went in, the waves were a little bit bigger and rougher than I had expected. My dismal attempt at body surfing was made harder by trying to not drown while also holding on to my bikini bottoms so I could still maintain some dignity. This was however counteracted by the fact that in saving my bottom half, the top half was now facing backwards! 3. Getting your bottom ...
