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 ...

... punctuated by an ice cold beer... until saturday...<br><br>So this weekend was a national holiday in Brazil.. and it seems the whole city of Natal descended on Genipabu by bus.. a bit like going to Brighton for the day. This quiet place transformed during the day into a bustling hotspot.. with visitors arriving at 7am, plonking themselves on the beach and ordering their first beer.. crazy. So our guesthouse wheeled out enormous speakers and started pumping out dodgy Brazilian ...

... the beach having a cold beer and hawkers will come past selling EVERYTHING you could imagine.. hammocks, cds, rails of clothes, wooden ships, fresh fish, paintings, sunglasses.. its just insane. All the teenage boys have converted wheelbarrows with a battery inside and a car radio on the outside as they come past blasting music and selling their copied cds.. its hilarious. The next minute a man with a wheelbarrow ...

... spluttered, jolted , jumped,stalled and ground to non stop grinding halts along the journey. The only god send is that I am so unbelievably tired that I drift in and out of unconsciousness most of the way. So I am staying at Pousada Cavalo Marinho which I just happened to come across accidentally in someone else's blog and thought it sounded really appealing, and first impressions are good. Clean, good location, nicely landscaped gardens, quiet, great swimming pool and ...

This was a fun day after some very challenging on the road experiences. We awoke to the Italian apartment owner bringing us a basket full of goodies for our breakfast. Yippiee! Nice one amigo. We managed to rent a cool sand dune buggy for the day that would take us along the coastline north from Natal, Brazil´s ´sun city´ to Jacuma, driving through the sand dunes of Genipabu. The driver from Top Buggy Company didn´t ...

Nov 9th, Try to surf again, but I still suck as much as Mayer sucks at life or as much as Anna Nicole Smith does since she is dead which precludes her from being good at life. This one local dude can surf while standing on his head, amazing. Oh, and I saw a snake swallowing a field mouse or some kind of small furry animal which was pretty sweet. I go out with Sid and I meet up with Flavia at our favorite bar which by the way we did not get free ...

... and the best part is all guests have free use of the kitchen and it has three hammocks on this large porch right outside our room. It´s perfect and I find out that I absolutely love hammocks. I end up sleeping in one of the hammocks more than my own bed throughout the week. If I ever own my own place one day, I will without a doubt have a hammock (I´m assuming you can buy them in the hammock district (simpson´s reference). They are ...

... de zeekooi. Arjan vraagt of ik een emmer aan dek wil klaar zetten, want binnen naar de WC zal wel héél veel troep gaan geven, zo voorspelt hij. Ik pak een lekkere grote emmer en Arjan neemt plaats op het achterdek, dat in het engels "poopdek" wordt genoemd. Nog nooit eerder zag ik iemand zo heerlijk relaxed zijn behoefte doen aan dek! De door Michiel meegebrachte AIS ontvanger kan getest worden en blijkt het ook te doen. Alleen jammer dat de software onze positie niet goed ...

... is much larger than Bahia and is relatively light-skinned comparatively. But the Northeast seems to be a fairly mixed area (Native, European, African) and the locals have the blended skin tones and facial structures reminiscent of other Latin American countries. The Amazon: My next stop has an increasing population of both indigenous tribes and a number of immigrants from other parts of Brazil. Waxing Ethnomic So what forces produced such a varied ethnic makeup across the ...
