Solare Lencois Resort Barreirinhas

... the hotel even tried to blame us for the smell, saying that it was our bags that smelt! We found somewhere much better just around the corner, the next morning, after breakfast, daniella went out to enquier about the possibility of doing an overflight of the lenocis,soon enough she came back told me there was a plane leaving in 30minsm and we were on it. It was not cheap but it was a great expèrience a car drove to a small airfield on the of the town, where we waited for ...

... us in the jeep except our own hands (wrapped tightly around anything that seemed solid) and the will to survive. It was incredibly unsafe. I couldn't help but think the entire time how something like this would definitely be illegal back home. Despite the continous terror and constant prayer for the jeep to "remain on its tyres" and "not roll" on the next corner, it was actually a lot of fun. I'm almost as ...

We arrived by bus to Barreirinhas around 11 am and were immediately bombarded by a group of men each trying to sell us a room at pousada, dune ride or some tourist package. (Picture Paparazzi minus the cameras.) Barreirnhas is a small town near Lencois Maranheses National Park which consists of sand dunes that during the rainy season (not ...

The trip to Barreirinhas was rough! Holding on with both hands, things falling off the jeep, white knuckles, a flat tire - this so called road was the worse I have ever seen! As it was through sand you cant notice the rocks untill you hit them and something (in one case some one) fell off! This was a 2 hour 4x4 journey and I was so relieved when we made it and I didnt come off once! I got into Barreirinhas at 7.30 with nothing open but there was some guide dude who took me ...

... clovek, sem po vybaleni sveho kartacku na zuby a sebe zjistila, ze misto sprchy mam jen rouru a rozprasovac nikde....po chvili sem dokazala nastelovat proud vody tak, ze dopadal doprostred sprchoveho kouta (misto na stenu) a skocila po vysnene sprse. Kdyz jsem si stezovala, tak me desne nutili vymenit si apartman...no kdybych se mela stehovat pokazde, kdyz neco neni v poradku, asi bych ...

More sand! Left Sao Luis on 31st in morning in a rush to get to the bus station for our bus here. Left at 08.45 and got in to Barrerinhas at about 13.30. Within 20 mins of arriving we were in a Pousada (Brasilia - 35 Reals a night inc break) and on a tour leaving at 14.00. Impressive stuff eh? Our 4 x 4 open topped jeep took about 8 of us into the national park over a river and through a few to our stopping place. The drive was very good fun if ...

where to begin.. was in an area with no internet or phone access which explains my lack of posts. i hesitate to even begin telling my stories, as it will do no justice to what i have experienced so far. but, i will attempt to summarize in a couple of posts.. arriving in cuiaba, did not go as planned, and found myself in quite a mess. trusting my little inner voice probably saved me from a great deal of...well, who knows. it is quite the story, but i wont go into ...

The last couple of weeks have taught me three important lessons about my new Brazillian Style bikini... 1. Mine is actually a little bit too big...seriously. Not only is it not as skimpy as many of them here, I should have got a smaller size...but I was erring on the side of caution here. However I have learnt that it is too big because of point 2. 2. Brazillian Bikinis are not the most suitable swimwear for body surfing. I found this out the hard way...in ...

... They beautifully fill the eyes. So round. So soft. Perhaps they appeal to us so because they remind us of humankind´s child-born obsession with the female bosom? It´s the type of place where you just go walking, walking, and there´s always some place you have to go see. So off I went, climbing the giant bosoms. Adventuring, I got cannoned through the sea´s waves. I skipped through coconut forests. I took huge, running, skyborne jumps off the falling ...
