Got up late this one..........definately going to get used to this !! Beach time today to get the tan going. Staff at the hostel are really friendly and helpful, even Maria telling PJ, Go to the beach "U are too white" I pissed myself at that one. Nice people staying too, think we're going to be ok here. Took a walk to the beach where I got ripped off by a lucky, lucky type fella. Bought a brazil beach sarong/towel for $20 and then PJ got the same 20 yds down for $13, going to have to watch these little bleeders. Lazed on the beach for most of the day, overcast though but still smashing on the factor 30 - not wanting to burn up. A crate of beer and the old english flex for the evening - sat on a bench and got steaming and smoked - only 9 more days of that !! Saw some girls doing the samba, God blessed some of these chicos (lads you getz me !!)
