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 ...

... and cocktails at 31 restaurant and got a table right on the beach front. Then to complete the evening we picked up the biggest chocolate cake ever from the local shack in the market square that Chris (DJ we met organised earlier in the week for us) (amazing they have choc cake her too!) and a few cheeky Cuba Libres back at the ranch. A good time was had by all as you will see in the photos!

... mine unfortunately went missing at the Lagoon the other day...

Also had a great meal at Restaurant 31, which is right on the beach - lovely fish and great cocktails. Definitely returning there. Decided to have an early night after this, as we had quite a few Caipiriha's last night after we met an English Dj who was DJing at Sunset Sessions at Durobeach bar. He took us to the local square for nightcap and v cheap Caipirinha's.....

Today is the second day of visiting Caipe Lagoon, which is 4km away from Cumbuco. We have organised a taxi transfer (see photo) via dune buggy with all our kit. It is amazing there - flat freshwater and I am learning so fast there. Unfortunately it is v popular, so we have had a few kite tangles without incidence (Loupey - 2, me - 1). They have an amazing fish restaurant (choose your fish - not for me ...

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.

And it gets better when we discover that we can kitesurf straight from ...

Arrived at Cumbuco Airport apprx 22 hrs since we woke up. Thankfully we got thru passport control in 20 mins (we were 6th of plane) - chaos there and locals get priority. Loupey and Alex spend 1.5 hrs there yesterday!!
Met our taxi driver who spoke not a word of English, fortunately I grasped that he wanted us to wait by the bus station from similar words to Spanish. Alex was excitedly telling him in ...

I didn't expect to like Fortaleza - a remarkably large city whose main attractions are the beach.  But the low expectations meant that I actually quite enjoyed it.  Yes it was rather bland and lacked character, but it wore it's heart on its sleeve and the beaches were good fun (if rather dirty in places).

I spent a couple of enjoyable days with Antonio, the Brazilian I had met in Pipa and who I travelled to Fortaleza with, on the beaches and in the shopping malls (I ...

... así que decidí aventurarme sola a conocer el centro y programar algunos tours cerca... definitivamente tenía que conocer Morro Branco y Canoa Quebrada así que reservé un tour para el día siguiente... Una vez seguro lo del tour empecé a aveirguar tours a Jericoacoara... así conocí a Junior que finalmente me llevó a conocer las famosas heladerías de la zona (50 sabores y 60 sabores) y la pizzería D'Liuzzi que creo que es una de las mejores pizzerías que ...

... hoewel er geen bewaking is. Wij twijfelen. We willen in elk geval een week blijven en besluiten daarom de volgende dag in te gaan klaren. Een heel avontuur! Ondanks dat Armando ons aanraadt met de taxi te gaan, kiezen wij zoals altijd voor de bus. Met behulp van de locals, die druk discussiëren over welke bus wij het beste kunnen nemen, belanden we na een flinke omweg op onze bestemming. We zien aan de ene kant van de weg zeer luxe, hoge flatgebouwen met ...

... coisa da minha cabeça. No dia seguinte, eu comentei o fato de eu ter me enganado com os textos, com o irmão Edson, que também é membro da Assembléia de Deus. Naque instante ele sorriu e disse: É irmão, como é que Deus fala, né? Eu respondi: É irmão, eu e a minha lingua grande, pode falar. Ele disse: essa foi a palavra que foi pregada ontem a noite no culto que você não foi. Tá bom, respondi sem graça e me afastei dele. Comecei a pensar e orar: não, não, não e ...
