Thought it was about time I wrote something, surprisingly enough I am waiting for the boys to finish showering and getting their glad rags on! Yesterday we arrived in Iticara, 10 hours bus from Arrial D\'ajuda , what a long journey it was too! The place is not unlike the one we just left but not half so touristy, more friendly and a real surf town. Of course we had to hire some boards today and make our way down to the beginners beach, were eventually the waves quietend down enough to have a few good runs. Not me I am still flailing in the shalows! Tommorrow some Brazilains are going to give us some tips, they are really friendly and helpful. After sitting down waiting for some freshly cooked fish, dad you would be so jelous, the guys on the beach started doing capoiera right there on the beach, truley a sight to see. Tonight there is a beach party so a rest now before going out on the town again. Pictures will be on the way, maybe we will wait till we have finished our surfing and are tanned and fit from the exercise, not tubby from the amazing food and cheap beers! Lots of love El and Dave x x Yes the picture is still Rio, but we have to choose one to enter the text.
