Lovin Brazil already, 4 days and still haven't been robbed!
Checked out Salvador's local Uber-Market (definitely not for the tourists) where you have to paddle around in the blood and entrails of god knows what kind of beasts. Cow's eyeballs watch you pass from every other stall, and a bag of brains costs 1 Real (as does averything!). That's 25p in old money.
It isn't much fun for the strung up goats mind you, altho the stallholders will kindly give them a shake for you to prove that they're still alive. Sad. But TASTY!
And you can even buy a Peacock! Seems a bit wrong to me like!
The weather is s***, but the Capirinhas are STRONG and the food is quality, mostly have no clue what the hell i'm eating but it all tastes good and it's cheap as fishballs n chips. Oh, and the oysters are truly massive.
Piece of piss to get by with zero portuguese as well, its so close to Spanish, they understand pretty much everything you say.
And the best bit, they have blokes that jump on the bus to flog sweets, choccies and pop! How cool is that! And the Favelas are proper scary, just like the telly! Love it!
Off to beach now, hope the sun comes out.
Ciao
ps, pissing in the street is acceptable, anywhere.
