Finally, the beach...

Our hopes for better weather was answered and we finally headed for the beach.
We chose one close to were we live in Porto Seguro and went. Alot of people and big bars can be fun but not really what we were looking for and the water full of seaweed because of some earlier rough weather... so we sunbathed a bit, I (ola) got restless and went to play in the waves, it's funny how a bit of water can make you feel like 6 years old. Agnes did not go in and I don't blame her because the water was a bit yucky...

The beach was full of sellers and I promise there was not 2 minutes going by without someone coming and wanting to sell stuff. not only do they insist but how can so many people really think that I want to buy a Henna tattoo(it is quite clear that I have enough)

Anyway, after about 2 hours we left and Agnes Had a bit of sunburns, but nothing severe, her feet looked like little lobsters though.

Here there is a plce called Passarela de Alcool(the alcohol passage...)
We went for a drink, you get massive caipirinhas or mango drinks for about 6 real which

Passada de alcool, stand to sell cocktails

is around 1.5 pounds...nice...

That was all yesterday, Today we went to a nearby town called Arrail d'ajuda and it was absolutely beatiful, and the weather today...Amazing! there was a church from 1550 something, nice but very plain. The town though, located high above the sea with colorful

The town of arraial

buildings, very nice. Alot of turists still, but a nice town.

We Heard from an aussie were we are staying that around this town there is some of the nicest beaches in Brazil, so we decided to go to one called Pitinga Beach. There was a little hot walk of 2 kilometers before we arrived, but oooh my what a reward. So different from the beach we went to yesterday, not very much people, no annoying sellers and surrounded by beatiful red cliffs. And the water...nice and clean. of course we forgot our swimming gear...but hey, underwear works fine...

beach of Pintinga... a real beauty!

that's it, tonight we are going out to eat and then buy a drink and walk along the sea I think... Tomorrow morning we are heading more towards Salvador, but we are stopping in Ilheus. New town, new things...

Tchau Tchau we love you!
