So Hi So Lo.

Our first stop on the truck was Praia de forte where we sound the afternoon whatching turtles, sharks and some other special marine life. Learned that the black back turtles could be around 2 meters long and have a weight up to 900kg. P de F, was a small but touristic place. Not really a city more like a bigger resort. I had my first camping night with loads of rain that night but it went out fine. Find the biggest frog under my tent in the morning.. We started our trip up to olinda which is a long journey up the coast of brazil. So, we had some bush camping by the beach half the way. Beautiful place to stay just by the beach, my tent isn't the best so it collapsed around 5am. So I went for a run and a swim on the enormous empty beach. Not bad, oh no.  Arrived in olinda late the day after because we couldn't find our camping so we all checked in to a hostel. Which was nice with hammocks and a pool area.  Olinda is a really small place on the hills just outside the big city recife so you'd get a stunning view over the city from there. Is a place famous for it's different types of arts that they have in all sorts of ways. So walking was a good option to check it out. Up the hills and down the hills.. In the evening we went for some food of the street. I tried tapioca ( some kind of rice with different choice of fillings that they put into a frying pan. I had coconut and cheese. Yum. ) and Acaraje ( fried potato with tomatoes, onions, prawns and some other fillings. Tasty. ) both of them are special for Bahia the north east state we are in. Of course we find our way to the nice man with the alcoholic drinks. We made a choice of a fruit and the mashed in a can with some ice and pored a huge amount of vodka inside, shake it and done. I picked a cherrylicious drink, yum. The drink only cost me 14SEK. ( around 2 USD/AUD ) I'm not gonna complain about that. Alcohol is actually the only cheap thing here in brazil otherwise it's fucking expensive. Even worse than Australia, no doubts.  So yeah, for being a backpacker we all can effort to drink a lot.  At the moment we are on the road again heading for another small hippie town called Praia de pipa. Hoping to get an hour or two on the beach with a young coconut and a beer in the other hand. Also, hoping to find the earrings I been looking for. Really want one of those dreamcatchers. Brazil have a lot of good shopping, sadly it's expensive. You find amazing earrings, bracelets and neckless of the streets which is nothing you will find anywhere else..  In the end, its not the years in your life that count. Its the life in your years. - Abraham Lincoln
