We´ll leave tomorrow, the curse of Morro.

Off the coast of Salvador is an island called Tinhare, you have to take 2 boats and a bus to get there and it is so worth it. It is paradise like with deserted beaches and the water is like getting into a warm bath.

Morro do Sao Paolo is the only town and the locals are again very enterprising, turning wheelbarrows into taxi services to offer a luggage service from the port and selling all kinds of decent food everywhere on the beach.

We had some cracking and slightly scary thunderstorms there and you could see and hear them coming in from right out at sea. Because the beaches are so open and vast you could see how varied the sky was. The above photos were taken 1st to my right and then to my left from the same spot as a storm was brewing.

Capoeira is a big part of Bahian culture and is great to watch especially the skilled schools. They dance/fight (best way to describe it) almost martial art like to the sound of the stick instruments at the back. The sound they make is pretty hypnotic.

We intended to stay 2 days and stayed 7 but we finally dragged ourselves away from paradise today. Sadly we are awaiting a 33 hour bus to Brasilia in a grotty port town, very different! Wishing we were on a beach.........
