Trekking in Lencois

---

We arrived back in Salvador this morning (starting to get used to the long bus rides!) after spending 4 amazing days in Chapada Diamantina near Lencois. We walked, climbed and scrambled our way through forests, mountains and rivers. We spent one of the three nights in the great outdoors, sleeping with the wildlife! We had a really cool guide called Levi who took us around, telling us tales of his adventures and lots about his family too, who we had lunch with on the last day.

Our bodies have now given up on us for a while (Mike's feet are dying a slow painful death) -we're feeling tired but chuffed after completing our first ever trek.

This looks good
Hey guys this looks really cool, you have done a real trek - just like that Indianna jones. I cant imagine you doing anything like this in the Uk, I so envy you the experience, but glad you have done it. I am concerned that your feet are dying a slow death Mike, could this be a chink in the cooper gene pool eh. is it the shoes rubbing and causing blisters, or is it something else. Loads of love to you both
