Where is Moo

OI!

Today is our 2nd day in the BLISSFUL paradise island of Arrail d'Ajuda just across the river from Porto Seguro.
A colonial island town bustling with tourists, African culture and amazing tropical beaches!
The journey here was not without its share of glitches (but as I'm learning, this is the fun of travelling NOT the stress! hehe) - we left Rio at 9pm (not 4 as anticipated) on Monday and arrived 24 LONG hours later...complete with 5 hour road side breakdown, three bus changes, overflowing bus loos and mad locals! it was tiring but on arrival here we quickly relaxed and have spent two days beach side soaking up MORE sun!
It is getting hotter the further north we go (obviously) and more pristine.  We are leaving tomorrow night for Bom Despacho where we will sail to Salvador! I CANT WAIT!
We are planning to be in Salvador for two weeks so I can finally get some volunteer work under my belt (hopefully Baihia is more organised than Rio!) and learn Capoiera and Samba!

Our fourth amigo arrives on the 26th and we will then plan our next move! At this stage it looks like we'll be arriving (by boat!) into Colombia on the 1st of May

Travelling has quickly (and surprisingly) become a natural way of life and my organisation skills are definitely improving! With three strong personalities it has its moments but we are all good communicators so no major issues to date.

I am loving the local people, the African culture, vibrance, music and overall attitude is so welcoming, laid back and fun that I have already met a lot of people here and have added this to the list of potential places to come and work at the tail end of the trip.

Until we reach Salvador I have little to write - the past three weeks have been pretty relaxed (aside from the travelling!) and more like a long summer holiday! I am itchy to get immersed into some proper culture here and base myself places

LOVE YOU ALL and I will post the link to more photos!
Mum and Dad you need to get facebook cos uploading photos on here is nigh on impossible!
