The
Big Trip
On
the ferry heading towards Belém, I met two Americans,
and we agreed to stick togetber for a while. Next stop
was Saö Louis, a beautiful colonial little town
a bit further down the Eastcoast. We stayed there for
a couple of days and left for Recife after that. Unfortunately
it was the wrong timing concerning carneval, bcause
Recife
has got the biggest in Brazil apart from Rio.
Now
it was time for some African&Reggae Vibrationes.
Salvador
was the right place to visit. You could really
feel the African Vibes in the air. Drums and reggae
music everywhere...
Lacking
to experience the inland I took a very long busride
from Salvador to a dry and poor part of the country
- There I visited a friend, he showed me a Mangofarm
and very poor parts of the vast country.
Next
destination was Rio
was on the list nowI met up with one of the Americans
and we shared a flat at Copacabana. All in all we spent
a week there. That minimum time for a city like Rio.
It's a beautiful city surrounded with green hills and
plateau. I found Copacabana a bit dissapointing...I've
seen other baches that are much more beautiful...
