Last day in Forteleza

---

Fri 5th Oct:
Took a local bus this morning to a different beach about 8Km out side Forteleza (Priai Fortuna).. very upmarket (and expensive - they add service charges on to everything). However, a lovely beach where I did battle with the waves for a while .... couldn´t swim as the waves were very strong and also quite an undercurrent. ´Would have been fantastic for surfing but that was banned because of some recent shark attacks. Just soaked up the sun for the rest of the morning... with some mango juice, then took another bus back to the city centre. Bus rides are an experience in themselves. Local government buses compete with commercial buses for trade; the commercial ones are much more comfortable and with AC. However they often race or cut in on each other on the road which is sometimes scary!
Anyway, this evening I´m taking the night coach to Recife where I hope to stay until Monday. Recife is about 750Km south of Forteleza. I hope the humidity is less! (No photos...camera packed!)
