These are the first views we had of the Rio Paraiba and Cabedelo, Brazil
when we arrived on the 18th Feb 2014. It is a hot and steamy place with 12 hours
of daylight and 12 hours of darkness (duh). It gets light about 5.30am and the
next 2 hours are lovely and cool and calm. Thereafter, even the slightest
movement makes you feel too hot, too sticky and just a little grumpy. But
everyone is friendly and willing to help.
It is amazing that nearly three weeks later we are still here. So apologies
about delays in blogs but we have had a difficult time getting treatment for
Stephen’s bad back. Our lack of Portuguese has been a real drawback here as very
few people speak English. But we are now in the happy situation of having a
departure date in a few days and although Stephen’s back is still giving him
problems, they are manageable. |
