Recife/Belem

20111019222207

As mention in my last blog report i went to an festival which was surprise surprise street carnival where 100 thousands people was joining. It was just awesome! Sure i did took anything with me except some Brazil reais to buy me some beers as they didn't sold capis this time :-) So my friends no pictures so far but a guy i meet those days has someone taken that i'll hopefully receiving soon. After carnivals we went up in a salsa club. Wow they can dance what i still have to learn besides Portuguese :-). Maria you remains in my memory for those nice words like foot finger and mein fuss is kaputt. Maria was talking in German and English to me and i feel more and more worse that all doing their best to understand me but i can't still speaking Portuguese very well. The night was long and the morning came to early :-). This morning I had a really nice conversation with Olin from Los Angels. Men that really seldom to find someone who wants to talk about mental impressions. I keep you in my mind and will plan to heading over myself to burning men as you was telling me it. After this nice conversation with Olin i went to the central bus station where i planed to go to Fortaleza. After 12h bus ride i arrived Fortaleza in the early morning. After a nice fresh maracuja juice and nice talks to other backpackers and the feeling from my stomach i already decided to go on another bus ride. After additional 30h i arrived Amazons area Belėm. On such bus tours you could have good luck or bad luck in point of the neighbours sitting close to you. On the way to Fortaleza i was sitting beside a nice smelling lady but on the trip to belem actually the longer way i had not so nice smelling people besides me :-) also i had the place close to the toilet where i always had to close the door..Anyway i have to say those bus are in a really good condition i comparsion to Tanzania. @Sarah: I don't know if you follow my blog but you couldn't imagine how nice those bus are.

Still i haven't surfed any couch but the weekend before going on the boat with my hammock i will meet a couch surfer to go on a reggae festival. Afterwards i'll stay at her place. On the 22.10 when i am alive from the festival i guess it could going long and running crazy i'll start with an guy that i met in Belėm in a guest house the amazon boat tour. So i promise you more crazy fancy adventure picture afterwards.

Those days in Belėm i bought me a new phone. Who can believe that :-) I couldn't life with my motorola motofone anymore. It was already long time enough to have such a phone after my good nice old stolen samsung galaxy s1. I can tell you its was really nice buying where nobody understood each other due to languages..Wow with this phone i can now also listen music on the boat. As luck would have it that store where i bought me that phone where playing my favorite music >>>king of leons

@Micha,Uli: Thanks to commenting my blog entries.

Salvador/Recife

WELCOME to my travel blog. As some of you guys already knows i did start my tour to brazil. On the 9st of october 2011 i arrived Salvador. Neither nor fuerth or erlangen i managed to get to south america :-) . From now on i'll let the thinks happen, no hurry or pressure. Lets see where i'll end up.
Salvador remembers me to my trip to Tanzania except its much cleaner here. I even found a place where they sold casava :-).

Hehe it seems that when i am travelling i often manage to get to my places while there is something going on. In Salvador i went to an festival. Thanks Anja for the nice eve especially that you were showing me that nice place for sunset. That festival night was long and i spend some money for Capis :-)

From Salvador i used the bus to come into the north closer the amazonas. The bus ride (12h) during the night was nice as i could sleep the whole time. For bus tours in that area it seems to be still secure even during night times. From CouchSurfers i heared about mugging close to the amazonas area :-( . Anyway its not that much unsecured here as i sometimes did feel from bus rides in Tanzania. The next days i guess i could report about how to buy me an hammock for the amazonas tour. Now i will join an music festival in recife. A guy i meet in the street will go with me. He was looking at me while i was helpless regarding the bus transfers to town. He spend almost the whole day with me to showing Recife. Just amazing!!!

I will continue to write in English even when i do a lot of mistakes I decided to do so to improve my English @Uli feel free to correct me but please do it in a privat msg to me :-)
