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 ...

... although he initially started speaking to me in Dutch), and the whitest skin I've seen for a long time. He even took it upon himself to warn me against the Brazilian sun, and that he uses factor 30... maybe I need factor 50! I accidentally spent more time on the beach the following day than I intended, and therefore had no suncream on at all and did not burn! Cheers for the advice Repulsion. Needless to say he was staying in a Dutch hostel and ...

... the buggy trip we saw many different beaches, lakes and drove around the dunes. I was looking for a little more adventure with the dune driving, but maybe I expected too much as the Brazilian girl was screaming her head off as we were going around! Of course, the guy who was on his own tried his moves and was hankering after a kiss, but wasn't too pushy with it as we were in a group. Although I'm starting to get used to the way they behave, it's ...

... the universe and just hanging out in general. So on my first night I am really hungry after a mammoth internet session and I tempted just to get a bag of chips and hide in my room because I really do dislike dining alone in a restaurant. However this is a journey and I have to push myself to do things that make me feel uncomfortable so Ed and Laz recommend a restaurant for me to try called Tapas and if you ever get to Pipa, this is the best restaurant here, it is ...

... fresh bread, cake, tapioca, coffee and juice. And since we still felt a little beat from all of the traveling and activities from the previous couple weeks, we spent the day on the beach, swimming, reading, and playing paddle ball. Since we had such a nice kitchen to use at our fingertips, we went to the nearest grocery store to pick up ingredients for pasta and meat sauce and brigadeiro. It was nice to have a home ...

... for 5Reals (US$2.50) each ride. The buggy made itīs way back through towns and villages and along the beach passed coloured dunes. Fun day for us until we got back to the apartment where we had stored our packs and hit the pavement in the pouring rain to catch a local bus back to the Rodoviaria (Bus Terminal). Exhaustion set in as we planned to take an overnight bus to Fortaleza (9 hours). It was to be a long haul ahead.

... 3 weeks, I am completely out of shape. I decide to start swimming in for shore and I keep swimming and swimming and I think to myself where the **** is the bottom. I am so tired that I seriously have to start floating on my back to conserve some energy just so I can swim in far enough to where my feet touch. Once again, I have never ever had to do this before. What is my problem. I wouldnīt call this a near death experience, but it was a little ...

... lifting up my shirt and this is totally going to my head and I think Iīm basically the ****. So anyway, I start to check out the rest of the bar scene while using some clever diversion tactics while still talking to these two chicks. Hmmm, I swear to God on this, some of the hottest chicks I have ever seen in my life are at (see I used at, not in) this place. Itīs not like Fortaleza where the prostitutes were hotter than any girl Iīve been with, No ...

... de Janeiro from where I fly home on the 26th of August. Secondly, it is said to have some wonderful beaches and thirdly, NASA has declared it the place with the 2nd purest air in the world...second only to Antartica. We didnīt quite make it to Antartica in June so I was keen to experience the 2nd best...canīt say I noticed much of a difference to be honest, there was still more air inside my head than anywhere else! Natal is a fairly bland city with ...

I realize it has only been two weeks and I have probably just scratched the surface but there are a few things about Brazil that I have taken notice of and I thought I would put a few of the most interesting/entertaining/challenging to paper or electronic digits as it is and send them on instead of the usual this is what I have done and where I have been. Hopefully you find them as interesting and entertaining or at least they ...
