Well its now been 3 days on Itaparica and we have had a constant battle to get proper internet connection
We are now at the restaurant Amigo's which is owned by Robyn and Willem from South africa and have met Peter and Annalize also from SA and what a pleasure it is to speak Afrikaans in Brazil as well as eat things from a menu which we can actually understand
Today we did our first exploration of the island and travelled by VW Combi around the island (the Combi must have been a 1981 model) and we ended up at all the wrong places and Neil thought at one stage that we should have taken a taxi which was in better condition than the death trap that we were in. But never fear we got back safely to the boat so we had a successful day.
Have a look at the pics that I have added and if all goes well we will have a better connection from now on
As soon as we learn our first Portuguese (forget how you spell it) I will say something in it .....
