Welcome to the jungle!

We´re in the middle of Amazonian forest, but before we tell you more about it we owe you a story from the seaside part of our trip - Natal. It took us 14 hours to get there from Aracaju and luckily the bus was really comfortable (even more than buses operating between Poland and Germany). We were hosted by Goias football team biggest fan, Daniel. Although there was already another couple from Argentina surfing his couch, he welcomed us in his home and brought an extra bed because of us. Daniel was very helpful also after we left his place and took us to very small town called Pipa which becomes very busy during holiday season. For the next days we moved to Ponta Negra - the most beautiful and very touristic part of Natal. This way we lived close to Xavi Abad - Jordi´s friend from Roses. We had a chance to meet his ´Brazilian family´ headed by Tia (Sogra). We spent three relaxing days, mostly on the beach. We also visited Parc das Dunas but unfortunately we couldn´t find dunes there...
 With Daniel - because Goias is the best team in the world...

Tapioca - kind of Brazilian pancake

Ponta Negra beach is being destroyed by the sea and probably in few years it won´t exist any more

With Tia and Xavi - thank you for all your kindness

 The city of Natal (in Portuguese means Christmas) was founded on 25th of December and that´s why there is a huge Christmas tree all year round!

After that we flight to Manaus - almost 2 million city in the middle of the jungle. Tomorrow we´re going to Tabatinga - a border city between Peru, Colombia and Brazil. The boat trip will take 6 and a half days (sleeping in hammocks!). We´ll upload some pictures from the jungle and write more about it next week, because the guy from the Internet point wants us to leave...
