Natal City

---

Mon 1st Oct:
An early morning swim before breakfast; it´s amazing how many there are out surfing at 7:00 am, an ideal spot for surfing as the waves are 2/3metres and roll a long way. However I found them very strong and after 20 mins was exhausted and ready for breakfast.
´Decided to explore Natal today and use the local omnibus to get there. Although only ~15 Km away it took over an hour to get there. No different to any other city ...usual high-rise offices, shopping mall and individual outlets like C&A, Carrefour and of course Macdonalds. Just browsed, bought a few snacks and ´Headed back for Ponte Negro.Tried a minibus this time which only took 20 mins.
´Investigated getting to Forteleza and bought a coach ticket for travelling tomorrow night - leaving just before midnight and should get there soon after 6:00 am. on Wedneday.

Noise Everywhere
Huge speakers seem to be the popular thing in Brazil. They´re everywhere...on top of cars, vans and even individual street vendors of audio CDs have their own mobile ones which they wheel around advertising their wares!

Downtown Natal
Just like any other city...............!

An Empty Street!
I took this quick photo of the main street,apparently empty - an unusual sight and only so besause of the traffic light further up. It´s normally a hive of activity everywhere downtown.
