"Voçe Tem Grande Grande?"

---

As the title suggests, I find myself saying this sentance a lot, "Do you have extra large?", as my fat ass does not fit into tiny brazilian bikini bottoms. Maybe its also a hint that I shouldn't be wearing them at all, but I love being stubborn and i finally found a pair of bikini bottoms that fit me, Hooray!! (Please rejoice with me).


Ummm... i just realised that I failed to recover this whole blog when the crash happened... oopps 2/10/2007

Colourful Olinda
The streets in Olinda are still decorated with ribbons from Carnaval

Igreja do Carmo
Built by the Dutch, and now is closed for renovation like many of Olinda´s Churches.

Frevo Dancers
Frevo is a diversion of Capoiera, and involves more smiling and squating kicks.

Olinda´s Graffiti
Olinda has many colourfull Graffiti pieces thoughout the town, on fences, sides of houses etc.

Frevo Art!
During Carnaval in Olinda,the town square was decorated with huge scenes of Frevo dancers, Capoeira and clowns.

Igreja do Sao Pedro
One of the Churches you could actually enter.

Altar of Sao Pedro
Like most churches,inside Igreja do Sao Pedro was beautiful!

Bad news turned Good!
I got sick of trying to get a good shot of the guys doing capoiera, then one of them stood in front of the camera. My frustration quickly turned to glee when I saw the shot!

Sick of paying heaps for average food...
so I whipped up the boys some Lasagne, and I have to admit, it was pretty good, almost as good as mums!

Brenton and Craig hard at work!
We convinced the boys to cook for the girls on International Womens day on the 8th March

It was Delicious!
The Boys crumbed the meat themselves and made wedges from scratch! We we all impressed!

Ponta Negra
In Natal we stayed near Ponta Negra beach in a hostel that was shaped and themed like a Castle, however the ventilation isn´t the best there and it was very hot inside! The hostels name is Lua Cheia

Ponta Negra Sand dunes
Once upon a time you used to be able to climb then and side down the dunes, but they are protected now

On the Bus
Me, Brenton(Pato) and Craig

After a night out!
My boof head keeps growing.

Going to the toilet never looked so pretty!
This was taken at the Pousada we stayed at in Praia de Pipa (and no, thats not wee)

Acai, Acai, Acai!
I know it doesn´t look very appealing, but its like a nutty, fruity slush topped with banana, granola and honey. Sooooooo Goooooood

Ones final resting place has a great view!
This Beautiful cemetary in Praia de Pipa is in between the main road and the Beach!
