Zoooooo 1-0 tegen Servie Montenegro. Natuurlijk hebben we naar de wedstrijd gekeken. zaten er al maanden op te wachten. Leuke eerste helft, gare tweede helft. We zaten in ons huisje hier in Canoa Quebrada te kijken. De eigenares daarvan is ook Nederlands en woont hier al 6 jaar ofzo. Was wel grappig aangezien ze nog minder wist van het team dan wij. ze dacht dat van Basten ging spelen. whahahahahaha Hoezo stuck in time. Ik, Lavin en die vrouw van de hostel hadden wel oranje aan, melis had maar dr oranje oorbellen in gedaan. Was wel grappig. Net liep ik door de mainstreet hier zo (die Broadway heet) en hoorden we een of ander oranje liedje. Echt super leuk! T comentaar op de braziliaanse tv gaat echt nergens over aangezien ze het alleen maar over hubn ... read more

Hello Everyone! So we did it...we braved the many hour road trip that we were talking about at the end of our last blog. The trip turned out to be a bit longer than expected, 12 days instead of 6, due to some very unfortunate events (but makes for some interesting stories) and the day we finally returned to Recife we had to turn around to leave the next morning for another trip. So we have had no time to write about our experiences until now, so there is a lot of material to cover, but we are going to break it up over the next few blogs because we don’t want to overwhelm you! As for our first trip we were heading north to the city of Barreirinhas in the state of Maranhão and according ... read more

Calling in from a little beach place just north of Fortaleza...Monday morning and still a few people left after their weekend away...I´m still loving Brasil, wierd language (Portuguese) that, overheard, could be German, French, Russian or a lot of others...fortunately my limited español seems to work....the people are curious, friendly and cheerful....to us anyway!...amongst each other there´s a clear pecking order and an enormous inequality in wealth...however, notwithstanding the fact that I´ve not met any of the really wealthy (and probably won´t!) who may well have a sense of duty etc...but lets not go there just yet...there is a level of arrogance and rudeness by the ciustomer to the wait staff, for example , in restaurants that belies the insecurity of the disempowered...any little edge... Still and all, what a sombre note to set off on!...lets ... read more

Fortaleza

Dan and Gina

So from the beauty and tranquility of Lencois we headed off to the city of Fortaleza. I suppose you could call it the Benidorm of Brazil - huge skyscraper hotels right on the waterfront. Even though it wasnt what you would call picturesque - it did have a really pleasent atmosphere with lots of markets along the seafront. We didnt do a great deal there - though we did go out on a schooner for a couple of very relaxing hours. And Gina even managed to hunt down one the most exclusive hair salons in town for a hair cut - proper traveller that she is !!! ... read more

24/2 Quelle drama. At the club last night, the swiss one, took home a rentboy, woke all the others up with his moaning....again...then started screaming for help when the guy wanted money and relapsed into his ;i didnt know, im being robbed; routine. I didnt like him before and know Im ready to start yelling. We had a meeting, he did some pathetic crying and apologising and was told we didnt believe him, so thats getting interesting. All the others spent the day recovering as theyd heard it all, I just slept, then headed for dinner. 25/2 Had to fight our way onto a jeep to leave Jeri. Elbows out.... then a bus to Fortaleza that sits on a bay. Curves around perfectly, more Eurostyle activities with people jogging, gyms, great markets and contemporary art gallery, ... read more

Falesias in Fortaleza

While George was living in Fortaleza, my brother and I invited ourselves to visit him.... It was our first time in Fortaleza and we just loved it. The weather was so hot not to mention the sea! The beaches are magnificent with clear sand. A shame that Fortaleza has became a sex tourism place with so many young girls "serving" the gringos...so sad!... read more
