Another week has passed and I am now on my way to the Amazonas. The past week I spent in Jericoacoara, a small village surrounded by dunes and Olinda.
In Olinda is after Salvador and Rio de Janeiro one of the biggest Carnivals in Brasil. I am a bit early for the actual Carnival but there were small pre Carnivals from Friday to Sunday so I had to chance to get a first idea of how it is celebrated in Brasil.
Olinda is a very colorful city right next to Recife (they are more or less the same city).
The state flag is blue with a sun, a rainbow and a cross on it just as this building
It’s Carnival!
View on Olinda and in the back Recife
Even though there are lots of beaches it is recommended to not go swimming as the sharks are very close to the coast (especially during high tide).
After Olinda I took a break from moving a lot and enjoyed a few days in Jericoacoara, a touristic but beautiful little village surrounded by dunes. Besides having a relaxed vibe, Jeri is one of only a few places where you are supposed to be able to see an edmeral sunset. Unfortunately I had bad luck with the weather (rain and cloudy all day) so I did not have the chance to see this. Besides just lying at the beach, Jeri is one of the best places for kitesurfing, and you can also do windsurfing and surfing.
Dunes everywhere
The closest I got to seeing a sunset
Next stop Belem!
