As always we arrived late. So, we all went for in drink in the small town called Praia de pipa. Turned out to be such a sweet place, just those small places you enjoy.  Went to a bar called beach bar, on the beach of course. Started with a caipriniha which is always good but in that bar I picked my favorite. A drink called coco loco, made with ice, coconut and loads of vodka. Tasty. Matt and I just had to try all there tasty drinks with fresh mangoes, passion fruit, pineapples and so on.. The good thing for me was that's the bartender filled my drinks with extra booze all the time. ( they are well filled before.. ) everyone except me, Matt and sunny went back to get some sleep.  We left for another bar up the street that had Brazilian live music. The guys playing was just amazing, what a feeling. That was the bar where Matt ordered more caiprinihas and some shots to that..  Lost the others and it took me years to find my way back to the camping but I made it ! Proud ! The day after wasn't to funny to handle. I was in a bad shape after all, not just me, think Sunny was even worse. Made it to the beach and around the area, shopping. Met Matt later on so we ended up in the beach bar again for a couple of coco loco's.  Pipa, as we read about it was going to be a small and cozy hippie town. It was small and cozy but not hippie. I did like it a lot anyway.  Left early morning Ubujara national park. Long way to get there so there was time for another bush camp. Turned of the highway and got in a small village. The bad thing was that we got stuck driving in the sand and it was getting dark quickly. So we had no choice, had to camp where we were. Which was a nice place anyway.  There were just 1500 living there so we were the excitement of the day. Imagine 20 Brazilians trying to help you dig up the truck speaking portuguese that none of us didn't understand. Good fun.   Anyway, they all left and there was another guy coming up. Alexander who was one of the two English spoken living there. So, the day after it was easier, even thou it took us about 1,5 hour to get the truck out of there.  Left for Ubujara national park that's famous for there caves and nicely waterfalls. We found some good news and some bad ones. The bad ones that the cable car to the caves was broken and had been like that for a couple of weeks. Typical brazil. So, some of us wanted to walk, which we couldn't because of the rain. Damn it ! We did a short trail and had a stunning view of the area and waterfalls. From there we went to another national park called the seven city's, that had some crazy rock formations. Cool to see, did 2 of them the first day then the rain started like crazy so we had to go back. The water was up to our knees, we all had to hold hand because of the stream. Fun thou.. But the best part was to drive to motorbikes, I was the only one of the girls that been driving before so I just had to drive which I don't complain about !!  Saw the rest of the park the day after. Definitely cool to see. We took off to see the sand dunes that's further up north. Went on a 4W drive over then. Really wanted to do a buggy tour but it wasn't available from the town we were staying. Means i Got to do it in Peru.. And yeah now we're in Sao Luis. Started my day to get the yellow fever vaccination, wasn't the easiest I've done but I made it. Vaccination center was really crappy and looked like a closed down buss station and they kept the vaccinations in coolers. The same ones you will bring with you to the beach on a hot summer day. Funny.  Tried to pay them but it didn't go to well so I actually took of. Free yellow fever vaccination, oh yeah ! Left for a hospital trying to get malaria medicine, so fucking hard in this country. Yes, I don't make it easier not to speak the language so I have to blame myself a bit to. I had four doctors around me that all thought I HAD malaria so they where checking for fever and so on. Took me half an hour to explain that I was fine and just wanted my tablets. Didn't work at all so I left.  Sao Luis isn't very big so to see the most interesting places doesn't take more than one day maybe two but that's all.  It's famous for the historical part, not my biggest interest but cool to walk around and look at crappy houses. It also says it's famous for being a reggae place. Our last night we went out for dinner. Friday night and the city was completely empty. But out of the blue we found a big square with shit loads of people, Live music, food and drinks. Got some cheap egg burgers and tapioca filled with banana, coconut and cinnamon. Tums up.  The drinks were cheap as usual, 3 reals for caiprinhia's, about 12 SKR. Started to dance samba, as awesome as we are. NOT. At least we had fun and the people around did to. There's a few people over here that impress me and this guy did, Houmos, he was born in Sao Luis, only in his 19th, very well English spoken, good in French, was on his way studying Spanish and in the university. You don't met a lot of does people over here.  For once I was able to have a good chat with a local. The night was just fantastic and it's always even better when you are the only foreigners or gringo's as they say.. - Sunshine, Sunshine reggae.
