The best of Brazil (part II)

Have I mentioned our every-day-view in Salvador, BA, Brazil?

How about our tough life up there?

Oh I miss all those popsicle sellers in the beach! Be prepared to have some change when you go to Brazilian beaches, ’cause everywhere you go there’re something irresistible to buy, like delicious fruit popsicles, coconut water, bikinis, beach towels (aka “canga”)… Some places you can even find corn with butter, sandwiches, and of course, caipirinhas and beers. Oh… Bahia!!

Am I way too early to plan my next summer trip?

The best of Brazil (part I)

So let’s get back to the holidays and remember our Brazil’s trip! Oh Brazil! We had a ball in Brazil!

We took ten beautiful days off to Bahia! Ooohhhhh Bahia!! There’s much more to know up there than the tourist sites.

Since we got at the airport, I had a big smile on my face. Because I simply loved the 35 degrees welcoming us!

So, we rent a car and drove about 40km up to the city of Salvador. We stayed in a village, 4km before Guarajuba (one of the most famous beaches) and 11km before Praia do Forte (where the Tamar Project takes place, that one with the turtles).

Let me tell you something: we own the beach!! Seriously, that was amazing. There were like 6 people on the beach, including us!! There were no rubbish at the beach, no competition of space on the sand. Just perfect!! I wish I could stay in a place like that 6 months of the year… or 12. Just laying on the beach, drinking coconut water, swimming on the warm water of the ocean and don’t having to worry with nothing else.

I wanna stay here for ever and ever!

As we stayed in that little village and all we had to have fun was the beach, at nights we went up to Praia do Forte, where we could find lots of different restaurants and shops, and pubs. So we went up there almost every night!

They have the best pizza restaurant I ever ate in my entire life!! There’s many different pizza restaurants at Praia do Forte, but the most amazing one is called: 7 Pizzas. Seriously, no matter what were the flavour we asked for, was the best pizza of our lives! Better than everything you ever tasted before!! Remember the 7 Pizzas Natural Bar next time you go to Bahia :)

And of course you’ve heard about caipirinha. The most famous Brazilian cocktail made with cachaça (the brazilian liquor). But in Brazil, we can have any flavour of caipirinha we imagine. This summer the tredding flavour of caipirinha was siriguela (. But my choice of the night was passionfruit caipirinha!

That was bigger than a pint!

When we travel to Brazil, we just eat. When we travel for Bahia, we just eat shrimps, praws, fish, acarajé and moqueca and everything else made with shrimps and fish, everything really fresh, which are incredibly delicious. I’m already hungry just to remember how good that was.

A little bit of prawns on olive oil, garlic & peper
