Jericoacoara

Jericoacoara used to be a backpacker hotspot, now there are lots of rich Brazilians and only a few western travellers. It seemed to be a very good place to surf and kitesurf, but we didn't like it very much. Plus the weather was shit. It even rained a couple of times which wasn't too nice, especially since we spent the nights camping in our hammocks under a cashew tree that we had to share with many red bugs and ants.
We tought the 30-year-old Chinese how to smoke water pipe, beause he had never ever smoked in his life before. We had another interesting experience when we went to a tapioca place for breakfast. It was open, but the lady told us that the cook were too busy to work now. We should come back in 2 hours. That's Brazil!
The parties weren't as good as we had been told either and so we left Jeri after two days. With the two German girls we first took a 4WD to Fortaleza (beause there are no proper roads leading to Jeri), a (half-)night bus (we arrived at Natal's dead bus termial around 3 a.m. and had to wait on concrete benches) and another bus to Praia da Pipa. Lukas and the Chinese went somewhere else.
The landscape started getting prettier south of Natal. We checked into a nice hostel belonging to a friendly woman, a rich breakfast included.
By the way the most common food in Brazil is either meat or chicken with rice and beans. The most popular snack are "salgados", fried dough usually stuffed with chicken or cheese.
