Hello world, more news from Brasil. We are now in a small place called Canoa Quebrada and soon will be leaving for Belem. But not without showing you some pretty views of this place. Which by the way is also a more or less stoned hippy colony with a lot or Rastafarians.

This is just outside our hostel, where the little boats are used for fishing or to take tourists onto the sea where the waves are more quiet.

These are the boats they use. Very colorfull and look especially into the back ground with the nice red rocks.....

The beach is also famous for its wild life. This one is called jegue, we call it a donkey with a hat.

One day we went on a buggy ride. Into the dunes and along the beach.

Pretending to be something? Well it looks like a nice career.

Buggy racer, another nice occupation in this place. Unfortunately we were not allowed to drive.... So we stole the buggy!!

Typical not Dutch or Portugese, on one side the ocean and the other side an endless supply of biomass. Sorry deformation.

Last picture is showing how we look for the ones that have forgotten..

First some buildings from Salvador, for all the cultural freaks out there


And here goes another one.

Beach view of Salvador, where of course we got burned.


Lighthouse.............

Salvador city and fiestas at night (pre carnaval). People here are always partying, morning afternoon and during the night of course. It does not seem to end. Waking up at 7 o'clock with fire works that sound like WW3, just too scary.

Well it seems that internet is not on our side, so people you just have to wait for the pictures or buy a ticket to Salvador da Bahia and see for your self

Hi folks it is us again. This time we say hi from the Pantanal before flooding season starts, which will be soon. One tip for future travellers, if you are afraid of musquitos or do not like to sweat, don't go to this place. Since we don't care about this at all..... we had a blast.

View of the river Miranda, the boat in front prevens people from drowning.

This is the type of housing, which of course has to be build on poles.

One of the things we did was philosophising on the river, getting inspired by nature is what we call it. On the picture below you see the response of the animals, to our presence.

The bewildered look shows that these animals do not know how to response to human presence, well we on the other hand also did not have a clue so that makes two.

The tucan is a bird that is well know for its black feathers me thinks. Try to spot the second and third one.

Next to musquitos, the cayman is populating the pantanal in great numbers. They are harmless for humans, but viscious to other smaller animals. Fishing next to a croc might lead to a fish fight.

The biggest rodent in the world is the Capibara. It is a very curious animal, sociable and intelligent. However it also likes to eat the hairs of you legs, which can be annoying when it happens in the water. Next pictures shows how big it actually is, but they are adorable.

That they are sociable is clearly seen by the company it travels with.

We also went horse back riding, being new to us some of us suffered afterwards. No names given. Ana can live with this.

Piranha fishing is always funny. Remarkable thing is that there were three Dutch people fishing all morning, providing enough food for a full Indian tribe. It seems the fishing blood really runs through our vains. Some people just think it is boooooring.

This fellow is nasty with stingers on the side and the top, but catfish do taste good.

Well this is how we look at the moment, happy and on our way to Salvador. So next time more beach pictures. Cheerio

Heellooo people of the world. Here are our first pictures with popped to mind descriptions. Enjoy! So on arrival Berend had to wait a few minutes and being Dutch he had to put on his mad face of course.

Supergirl was just happy to join the trip and comfortably waiting for the bus.

First beach times, notice the red parts on Berends body, ai ai ai.

Look at that view of Copacabana... can you believe this is not even the best beach yet!

We hope y´all had a fantastic new year´s eve, we had the fine company of a Chilean work force, do they know how to party!!

So a good party has fire works, we like to call this one "Proof of the Big Bang?"

Chilean beauties, decorating the beach of Ipanema.

City theatre, what old school money can buy.

Petrobras office building, what oil money can buy.

Military police headquarters, what governmental money can buy
