Monday morning, we moved hostels to somewhere with more life – and then spent the day on the beach. The pictures that we do have include some underwater pictures of the fishes… check them out here! We met some new people in the hostel, (a couple of Swedish blondes, Emma and Josephine J ) and made plans for the best night out in Salvador – Tuesday in the Pelourinho.
Tuesday was another beach day, saving ourselves for the party… we headed out at around 7pm, and went to the main square where there was live music and street stalls selling food and drink. We got a table, and then it started… buy this, buy that, give me some money for the music… after our first drink, we decided to head back and see Big Momma…
Ice cold Bramha with the locals again – a table was put together for us… The beer was so cold, it froze as we poured it and started to overflow. After several bottles, including a free one, we headed on to another side street where the party was really starting to happen.
You can probably imagine the attention that 4 blondes together would get in a nation of dark haired people… before long we’d attracted a loyal following, lead by a Rasta guy who we’ll call Bob… There was a band of local drummers playing and dancing in the street and everyone was on their feet... again, we’ll add pictures later.
We sat at a bar in the street with our even newer new friends, and more bottles of beer were brought out… we were wondering what the ulterior motive of these guys would be. After a couple of drinks, they suggested moving to the special samba bar that they knew. We didn’t really want to go as it all sounded a bit dodgy, but when we realised it was just the bar on the opposite corner with hundreds of people dancing outside, we agreed!
More amigos tagged along, and we danced the samba with all the locals. Next we moved onto a bar with a live singer – the Brazilian men showed us their version of line dancing…!
When we were ready to leave, Bob said he would sort out a special taxi… here is the catch we thought… but no! He persuaded a proper taxi to squeeze the 5 of us in the car and it cost us less than 2 taxis home!
Wednesday morning, and Sam has a hangover… what a day for a ferry journey!!!
