The easiest way was going to be on a touristy minibus but there were never enough people wanting to make the journey. Instead we ended up on public transport which involved one bus to Ilheus then another to Porto Seguro. We had to stay in Porto Seguro overnight which wasnrsquot too bad. At the bus station we had been told that nothing a http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/Trancoso/blog-257455.html If you are not one of our family and friends we would be really interested to know how you found our blog please email us at olarsehotmail.com many thanksP Due to a longstanding arrangement with my schoolfriends I left the balmy climes of Rio de Janeiro for London raining upon arrival surprise enroute for a week in Villa Linda in Punta Prima Menorca to drown our sorrows or jointl http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-180978.html Just so you dont get too confuddled I know I do these photos are between Carlos Pelligrini and the Pantanal so all the penguin and Beagle Channel photos happened between the missing link 1 and missing link 2 if that makes any sense http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-140687.html Here are the photos that I wasnt able to get scanned for a while some of them seem like a long time ago now http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-140673.html Leon and I left Rio as rapidly as we arrived. We embarked on our most epic bus journey to Valencia 1200kms away. Whilst this was not the furtherest distance we have travelled the distance took 30hours. It was delayed by 3 crashes holding up the trip by around 5hours. A painfully long trip. Leon and I had to suffice for split seats. He was in the front and I was half way back nestled in between http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-130124.html 6th February 8th februaryLeaving Lucila was so hard. Her and her friends were headed back to Sao Paolo to fly back home and the Dutchies and needed to make our way north to get to carnival In all the excitement of the last few hours in Buzios we tried taking a photo that resulted in Yvanka and marco falling through the glass coffee table escaping with a few grazes.

Andrea and I had an awesome time here soaking up the sun. She left early 0500 yesterday morning to Rio to catch her flight to Mexico City and left me to enjoy an extra two days here. Luckly we met a young German couple who were holidaying here until they go to Bolivia so Ive been hanging out with them http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-84589.html Well as you all probably expected knowing my internet addiction here I am again on the internet because Im bored. Its not my fault . . . sort of.I decided to take a detour from my plans and jumped on a bus to Porto Seguro about 300 km south my intended target of Salvador. Porto Seguro is the landing point of the very first Europeans here in 1500 by the Portuguese captain Cabral and althou http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-76748.html Four hours' bus and a boat ride south from Salvador'll take you to Barra Grande an astonishingly beautiful little fishing village at the end of a peninsula. Quite honestly the closest to Heavenonearth I've yet seen. The whole village is built on the sand of some of Brazil's most beautiful beaches. Peaceful doesn't even begin to describe it and the people are lovely. It's slowly becoming an http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-51777.html So with teary eyes and muitos saudades I left beautiful Brazil I whiled away my days in Rio seeing more of the tourist sights Cristo Redentor the famous Christ Statue overlooking the town the Tijucu Forest the largest urban forest in the world lazing on Copacabana and Ipanema beaches going out in the funky suburbs of Lapa and Santa Theresa with a gorgeous view over Rio going to blo http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-51528.html We arrived at our hostel at ten pm after four hours on the bus well ahead of schedule. We were shown to our air conditioned room. It had all worked out well the bus to Salvador would have been 16 hours this would have been quite painful for Tas and her sunburned back which was now glowing quite red around her ivory white pantyshaped ass. We were both asleep in minutes and late to rise so http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-48977.html Hi allWell i think i sort of know how to operate this travel blog thing now.....Anyway i hope everyone is well and here are a few more photos http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-48351.html Hey allWell I have decided to give this travel diaryblog thing a bit of a crack.....so here goesWell im currently in Porto Seguro....This place is a little beach town which is about halfway between Rio and Salvodor. Nice little town fairly commercialised now as I believe it was very popular with tourists a few years ago no buildings higher than 2 storys though so it still has a small feel. http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-48205.html OK devotees back to the keyboard after a few days off...in this episode we continue down the coast of NE Brasil getting a taste of several states I get drugged deserted mugged but rescued in Salvador we continue to pass thru too many inumerable cute towns and gorgeous beaches to count...but if you want the travelogue check the discovery channel...or national geographic...so whats really http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-27447.html we hit the bar and this time the bar hit back...thought wed got away but woke up with an IOU 150 reals bill in me back pocket damn those smarts kurtz is up to his usual tricks...he sent his spies into our bathroom and attacked us during the night thank got sophia was on watch and her barking drove them away....until the ambush we thought we were safe in the republica das bananas but i guess w http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-12166.html Food Very tasty. More lovely sucos the best breakfasts yet frango chicken coconuts Bahian moqueca fish cooked in palm oil Area Very small and laid back with a hippy feel about it. But also very touristy with practically nothing else here except pousadas restaurants and tourist shops all of which are quite pricey compared to Rio.Idyllic paradise beaches with palm trees cliffs clea http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-7676.html Life in Porto Seguro http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-4432.html bom noite we write this from a little town called puerto seguro meaning safe port that is north of rio about 1300 KM. it is a sleepy little town that serves as a jumping off place for the beaches of brazil both north and south. We have had a great time since leaving rio discovering little beach towns and the rigors of bus travel in south america. two nights ago we found ourselves extremely ti http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-4234.html We arrived in Porto Seguro on Sunday night. Porto Seguro is a hot spot for Brazilians to vacation. The day and night life here is amazing. http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Brazil/Bahia/Porto-Seguro/blog-3821.html
