We stopped in Natal for lunch at a self-service place called Mangai where you can top your plate with almost anything and to any amount. I tried a little of everything, my favourite being "carne de sol". Its the tastiest sun dried beef cut into small strips and cooked with onions. OMG! YES! We arrived in Pipa a little late after taking a wrong turn and driving one hour away from the village! Tss! We arrived around 5pm - yes, 12 hours travelling!!!!! After some relaxing by the pool in the dark, we all headed off for pizza.. again. We drank a little and walked around the town..
Day 1 in Pipa, and my first proper day in Brazilian sunshine, we headed to the beach.. of course :) First of all we hit Praia de Pipa, which is the main beach at the village, (theres lots of them). We bathed in the ocean and then took a boat trip to the dolphins. It was hot, the scenery was beautiful and we dove into the ocean from the decking. What a cracking day!!! And it was only 1pm ;) We all went for a swim in our pools and then headed out to lunch. Mariana and I had another self service, but this time just a small salad and some veggies. We then took a little siesta til 6pm and walked over to Gui, Vivi and Marelia's place.. stopping off for a coffee and some shopping on the way. I bought my first haviana's! Whoopie! Me and Gomes (Mariana), started off the drinking for New Years and had our very exquisite New Year's meal - Cheese and Tomato Toast! We then headed down to the beach to meet the others. I was carrying a litre of vodka.. her with the big green bottle of Guarana. Sexy!! We got to the beach and there was soooo many people. But everyone had their own space which was cool. It was nice to be somewhere that was really busy but where you still had space to be beside all your friends with your things. It was perfect.. we drank, laughed, danced and pee'd til the fireworks exploded over the beach at midnight. We made some videos, took a lot of pictures, danced some more, and eventually headed back to the streets to party some more...
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaappy New Yeeeeeeeear, all! Feliz Ano Novo!!!!!
