Our journey to our next destination of Itacare was to take 8 hours travelling south down the coast, and include 3 different types of transport not including our feet!
We jumped in a taxi from our hostel to the local ferry port, upon arriving we were told the ferry we had raced to get was cancelled and the next one was an hour and a half! So along with all the people who were going to get the last ferry and the next one we were herded in to a waiting area that was penned in by a cage.
The next ferry was late...then a little later then a little later, hey this is Brazil time man chill! However the local Brazilian's did not want to chill I can only assume people were late for work etc...so they started shouting and singing and then furiously rattling the cages all around us. At this point I thought we had ten minutes until it kicked off! luckily as with most situations here it was all resolved as finally they let us board the Ferry.
The next 40 minute ferry journey was a little cramped and rough but it was cool.
We now got on a bus for the 6 hour journey to Itacare.
We have now been in Itacare for 3 nights and intend to stay here for at least 2 weeks, its a very nice little surf town with 6 or 7 different beaches in walking distance.
We have a very nice place to stay in an en suite double bedroom! extravagant! It's run by an English couple who have been here 6 months and they supply PG Tips for Sarah and Marmite for me :-)
