Cabure,
Brazil

A picturesque 5 hour 4X4 drive from Jerry took us to Parnaiba from where we took a fantastic day trip on the Delta- unfortunately no animals (just a few monkeys!) but a great day chilling on the boat and good practice for our upcoming Amazon cruise! After a 2 hour cab ride from Parnaiba on some of the worst roads in Brazil (we managed to miss our bus so the cabs were the only alternative unless we wanted to wait till midday for the next one which was not a popular choice as we were up at 5.30am!!)we picked up another 4X4 for a fabulous trip through the jungle and remote villages to Cabure...the only way to get to this place was by boat or 4X4 so it was the perfect place to relax! We stayed in fantastic bungalows with hammocks outside- perfect!! You would expect a place like this to be expensive but no- fab fish dinner for only around $3 each! Had a long walk along the remote beach with Belinda seeing nobody else along the shore for miles...
The next morning we were up early to depart this paradise by boat to our next destination- Barreirinhas!
