The Girl from Ipanema

We`ve made it! Had an ok flight over but I watched too much of the little telly thing and my eyes hurt for a couple of days after. I dont think that 11hours of watching films and a tiny screen is very good for you!
We had a great taxi ride into town to introduce us to S.America. He was absolutely gunning it along the motorway. We saw 100mph on the speedo but turned away pretty quickly, I think that knowing it was ´pretty fast´ was good enough at that point. In between the speeding we got pulled over by the police and I had the most intimate frisking of my life. I can now say that I was cupped by a policeman, not sure if its something to be proud of!

Since arriving we´ve been spending our days on Ipanema getting burnt and drinking cheap beers in the evening. It´s so warm here that Im afraid that there´s usually no choice but to head to the bar and get a nice cooling beer. It´s a hard life this travelling lark.

We´re flying up to Fortaleza tonight to head to Jericoacoara. I guy we met at the hostel here says it was the best place he´s been to so far, cant wait.................
