Days 18-20 Jericoacoara - Lifes a beach 22nd May 2011

We had a ½ day driving to where we were being picked up to take us to Jericoacoara.  Amber is a little long to cope with the road in.  We were picked up by a 4x4 and some of us sat in the back with the luggage!  We had a good view and breeze as well as sandflies for part of the way.  We are destined to be covered in bites for the whole of the trip!  Jericoacoara is a very laid back town.  The roads are just sand roads and it has a fashionable hippy vibe to it.  We found a fantastic Arabic place for lunch and then time for a little wander and snoozzzze before a few beers in makeshift bar on the side of the sand road, the music was provided by one of the locals dune buggies pumping stereo system! 
Next morning we had arranged to go out in a couple of these buggies. Our first stop was a gorgeous lake with a little sail boat to take us to the middle where there was a bar.  We spent an hour or so there drinking beer sat at tables in the water and fighting for the hammock in the water.  It was lovely. 



Next we headed a beach for some sun bathing and a spot of lunch.  Our final destination was a large rock which was interesting but the buggies racing each other on the way there was the fun bit! 

Wind swept tree!

Our final day in Jeri was at a slower pace (if that’s possible) with a few hours spent on the beach.  Early evening we headed back to the beach for a few caparinhas at sunset.  At every sunset there is capoeira on the beach which was amazing to watch, especially when our very own Maya joined in.  We enjoyed a final meal at the Arabic place followed by beers at road side bar with a very cool dude (Washington) behind the bar with his magic glasses!
