Had a relaxing day and half here at Olinda. It was only about 4.5hr drive from Maceio which was nice. The truck was parked near a square so we made lunch in the square before walking over to our hotel which is lovely. Nice pool to relax by and decent air con in the room. As soon as I got into the room yesterday afternoon, put the swimsuit on and straight into the pool where I spent the afternoon. I did go for a small walk to find some water but not much open since it was Sunday arvo.
We went out for a group dinner last night as it was one of the guy's birthday. Had a lovely local dish with fish and vegetables in a coconut curry sauce. Forgot though that the meals here are huge and really for 2 people. Went to a bar afterwards to about midnight but not much happening.
Today I actually managed to sleep in till my alarm went off at 9.30 which gave me a chance to get up and take advantage of the included brekky. Then wandered into town by myself, good to chill out and do your own thing, once in a while. Again, not much open but wandered thru some art shops and looked at some old rundown churches, some of which seem to be in the middle of renovations. Lots of churches here but none were really open to look inside.
Bought myself a pair of Havaianas (thongs, flip flops, jandals - whatever you know them as) for R8 (about AUS$5) which is a bargain. A nice bright pink colour......After wandering thru more touristy shops and a small lunch came back for a swim to cool down and then after drying off found my way to one of the hammocks to start figuring out the best way to lie in one and be comfortable since it will be home for 5 nights in less than 2 weeks.
Tomorrow we are heading to another beach town further north. Meant to be like paradise so can't wait.
