A long journey to Porto Seguro
... on!
That was the longerst journey of my life. 21h on a bus. I left Rio on Wednesday at 9pm,and arrived in Porto Seguro at 6pm on Thursday. I thought it was going to be harder, but wasn't that bad. We stopped every 4 hours on service areas,and I managed to sleep most of the time. On the last two hostels there was always someone snorting on my room...so I needed some sleep!

Bahia, buses and rain!
So I took an all-night bus from Rio to Porto Seguro in Bahia State; 18 hours, but not as bad as it sounds - a executivo(first class) bus with pleanty of leg room and seats that reclien way back so yuou can sleep. Huge windows also make for great sightseeing! I met a Brazilan gal on the bus who lives in Arraial d'Ajuda and her BF was picking her up, so I went with them, took the boat ferry and they dropped me off at the ...
