Wet, Wild and Soooo Soulful.
... hangover we jumped on a bus to Penha up in the hills where we had heard there was a low gradient waterfall that had formed a natural waterslide. This sounded like a truly meaningful experience (I had to do some further soul searching when I discovered there was no toilet). After a few seconds watching the local kids surf down, we stepped up to the plate. Fred led the way with a spectacular fall during his first run up. Oh how ...

It is amazing that they did not hurt themselves. We then ...

... manage to give them a bath. After a couple of beers he managed to find his personality again and just as we had almost dried off we had to make the run back to the Pousada. In South Africa everyone would just keep to themselves if the weather was miserable but not the Brazilians. On our way back to our room we came across a street party.
