Brazil Travel Blogs

Background: Following three centuries under the rule of Portugal, Brazil became an independent nation in 1822. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil overcame more than half a century of military intervention in the governance of the country when in 1985 the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader. Highly unequal income distribution remains a pressing problem.

28.05.05 Irgendein idiotischer Angestellter weckte mich schon um 04.30 Uhr. Er machte auch die Gebaerdensprache wie der andere Typ. Ich dachte ich muesste schon fruehstuecken, doch es schliefen noch alle. Ich sagte ihm das, doch er weckte mich zwei Minuten spaeter nochmals auf die gleiche Weise. Das etwa viermal. Ich fragte ihn, ob er ein bisschen durchgeknallt sei, dann zischte er ab. Natuerlich konnte ich nicht mehr richtig schlafen. Toll, nun konnte ich bis 06.30 Uhr warten aufs Fruehstueck. Dann kamen wir auch schon in Santarem an. Es war ploetzlich ein riesiges Gehetze. Einige Leute pack [View Full Entry]

Greetings to my family, friends, and colleagues. This is my/our last night in Sao Paulo before flying to Salvador, Bahia in the morning. I am exhausted mentally and physically but so exhilirated at the same time. I love Brazil and the Brazilians as I knew that I would, despite the glaring social inequalities and wealth inequalities of its social and political systems. Despite these things, I have been in love with the idea of Brazil since I was a teenager and now I am here! Sao Paulo is very much like New York City in the U.S. except on a much [View Full Entry]

Woke up not knowing the time, but the sun was up so headed out. Headed straight back when I saw it was 5:45 am! Bugger! Back to sleep. I managed 45 minutes before almost drowning in a fetrid pool of my own sweat. For no good reason I remember someone telling me that sweat contains piss. Sorry that was rude. I meant pee pee. God I havent said that for years. I really should stop talking as I type. And put my tongue back in my mouth. Man they know how to do breakfast here. Chicken pies, fresh fruit I have [View Full Entry]

21.05.05 Nach dem Fruehstueck vertrieb ich die Wartezeit noch mit lesen, aber die abgemachte Zeit um 09.00 Uhr war schon laengst vorbei. Um 09.30 Uhr fragte ich mal an, wo das Auto blieb. Der eine Typ lief mit mir im Zentrum umher um nachzufragen. Irgendwann hiess es, dass sie mich gegen 11.30 Uhr in der Posada abholen wuerden. Ich ging nochmals schlafen, das Personal weckte mich, als das Auto ankam. Wir fuhren mit einem 4WD zuerst etwa zwei Stunden bis nach Rio Novo. Dort mussten wir etwa eine Stunde warten und dann ging es nochmals etwa zwei bis drei Stunden mit [View Full Entry]

Greetings, I am new to Travelblog and to blogs in general; but I thought how great an outlet this is for those who wish to share their tales of travel and photos of exotic places. I have been traveling to Brasil for the last eight years. I have spent a good deal of time in the northeast (Recife, Fortaleza, Belem) and even more time in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro. Over the years my confidence (as well as my Portuguese vocabulary) has grown and I enjoy getting away from the normal touristic spots and finding new places to explore. For my [View Full Entry]

Greetings from the front. I bring news and tales of yore. Hark! Sorry about the delay in writing to you all but I have been trapped in a remote paradise with a very unstable and slow internet connection and itwas near impossible to write emails. It is not much better and still cant send photos or upload them to my blog, but I should be able to do that in a few days when I get to a big city. In a bit of a mood getting on the plane. Had to say goodbye to too many people. It was hard. [View Full Entry]

14.05.05 Ich wachte schon frueh auf, ging ja schliesslich auch frueh ins Bett. Nach dem Fruehstueck lief ich gleich zum Miramar, denn Philippe meinte, ich solle doch um etwa 08.30 Uhr dort sein fuer den Bootstrip. Ich war schon ein bisschen frueher dort und wartete. Ich dachte, ein Bootstrip hat feste Zeiten und dass sie diesmal puenktlich sind. Doch als ich um 08.45 Uhr Philippe wecken liess, meinte er nur, dass er kein Fruehstueck wolle und dass er nicht rauskomme. Mann, das machte mich nun echt sauer, Anstand gleich null! Um 09.00 Uhr weckte das Personal alle anderen Personen, einer nach [View Full Entry]

After the wedding our English friends and family stayed in Brazil for a further couple of weeks. We had a great time doing not a great deal - eating , drinking , swimming, and getting excessively bitten by the local mosquitos. One day we headed out to Eco Point in Ilha Bela and did a rather taxing assault course - me , the wife , Eve and Steve came back to the pool (where Mum and Dad were relaxing) saying "Im not sure you two should do that - its a bit tough" - well like a red rag to a [View Full Entry]

07.05.05 Wir kamen frueher als erwartet in Salvador an, bereits um 05.45 Uhr. Ich verabschiedete mich von Sebastian und Anval. Dann lief ich durch das halbe Busterminal, um etwas abzuklaeren. Das Touristoffice hatte leider noch nicht offen, deshalb hatte ich auch keine Ahnung wo ich genau bin und wohin ich muss. Ich fragte jemanden, wo ich den Bus zum Barrio Graça nehmen koenne, das klappte schon mal. Aber die genannte Strasse kannte leider niemand im Bus. Ich stieg einfach mal im Zentrum aus und fragte weiter. Irgendwann kam ich auch tatsaechlich bei Harry an. Als ich laeutete reagierte jed [View Full Entry]
