On Friday it was finally time: Vani and I have used the first long weekend and are on our first trip here went to Brazil. Objective: The approximately 350 kilometers away Jericoacoara, according to the Washington Post one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world. morning at 9, we have put ourselves on the way to Rodoviaria. A Rodoviaria is a bus station, there are in every major city and from where you can also just about anywhere can go. Once there, we were already waiting for the others. The other includes Peter (Munich), Bernd, Christoph, Cindy, Manuel, Mareike, Mirko und Moritz (Cologne) and Daniel of Fortaleza. We were a large, German-speaking Tourigruppe ^ ^. We then had to wait a bit for the bus, but when he finally came, I was really excited. I was expecting the worst, because why should coaches be much better than normal, and in the end it was the most comfortable bus, with whom I have ever traveled. After an approximately 5 hour drive through the hinterland of Ceará (State) we arrived in Jijoca and there we had to change to a smaller bus with all-wheel drive, since no tarred roads lead to Jericoacoara, but only sand roads. So we went almost at sunset on the beach and through the dunes - a dream. Even then I knew that whatever awaits us, it just must be great. Having arrived in Jericoacoara, it was almost dark, but the place seemed already to be totally comfortable at first glance. There are no paved roads, everywhere is really fine sand, even in some shops, like in a big sandbox. We are then, however, first went to all our hostels (Cindy, Peter, Manuel, Marek and Daniel were in a country other than the guys and us). The hostel was also very great, the room might be a bit too small but we were only there to sleep and there were at breakfast (which was also very tasty) view to the sea and the dunes.
A bit later, have then we all met again and are a little run through the town. We ate at an Italian and then we went to the beach. There were nightly build lots of small cocktail stands. The cocktails were really tasty, were always prepared with fresh fruits and were extremely cheap. That evening as we have 9 Caipi for R $ 20, so getting around for 8.50 €. Equipped with our drinks, we then put into the sand and watching the stars. They were really as close as if you can handle it and I've even seen two shooting stars. After that we really wanted was to have a "Aftersun Party", but there were hardly any people and then We somehow nothing.
Saturday morning have Vani and I had breakfast first extensively with the guys and then we met up with the others on the beach. I must admit, I was initially a bit disappointed by the beach, if any one should be great, but Vani and I are still walking a little gone and were rewarded with abandoned and miles of beautiful beaches, but as we still as a rock - Pedra Furada - wanted that one has seen before on any photo, we have gone back relatively quickly. To 2, so we are all together set off to search for the rock. Having about 20 minutes with extreme headwinds continued to run along the beach, We were facing a very steep hill which was to climb. Here, Cindy and Mareike then set in place and are turned over. It was also really come to no picnic up there. The whole road was fine and hot sand, that is, flip-flops had to stay on, but are always stuck in the sand. Here, I then realized for the first time I've clearly wearing the wrong shoes, it should not be the last time that I've found that ... the top we were however rewarded with a splendid view: far and wide, just sand dunes, the sea and rocks ... great. However, no trace of the rock with a hole. So we continued to run, after a while up and down, we have Moritz and then leave and Mirko are reversed. When we arrived in a cactus forest, we lost Peter and Manuel, because they have made too many photos. So just stayed Vani, Bernd, Christoph, Daniel and me. We did not drink more water and the road seemed to have no end. It went up and down, over hill and dale, and after each dune rose hope that waits behind the rock on us ... unfortunately not. At some point we wanted to turn around, but we have in the middle of nowhere
met a kite who has told us that we're almost there. Well ok! The last piece we wanted to run directly on the beach long, but there were also rock it became more adventurous than we are because then somehow long climb with our flip-flops, but we should be rewarded. After a 2 hour walk we finally reached the rock. And who was there? Peter and Manuel ... they probably have found a shortcut ... well great! After the usual proof of these photos were taken and the views we had enjoyed a bit, we made our way back, but the shortcut! The acronym actually resulted in 20 minutes, straight back and without looking up and down Jeri! And we have been wondering why we have made on the other line not a soul ... The hike has definitely paid off, the views were just super nice. In the village we just walked to the beach to the famous sunset from the Por-de-Sol dune to watch. There were actually so many people, as if that half the village gathers and away as the sun was applauded all ... interesting! Then there was a capoeira demonstration, we have also looked at. Capoeira is a very popular Brazilian martial dance that you can get some in Germany. That was cool and has really aroused the holiday feeling is over. In the evening we ate at a Pizza Rodizio, which was as bad as ever, but maybe. We were back at the cocktail stands and have set a bonfire on the beach and enjoyed the coolness of the night.
The next morning the guys have left us because they were invited to a birthday. The others have Vani and I have not found, so we went alone to the beach and have the sun on your belly, leave. At 4 we went a little swing and have indulged in a sandwich at Café Brasil. He was sooo delicious, because Lonely Planet has a really good recommendation given. At sunset, we are with a few sweet treats again went to the beach and capoeira, we also looked at again. There we met the others with whom we agreed to meet later for dinner have. After we looked a little bit, where we could eat, we opted for fish. In the restaurant you had to choose first the fish we wanted and then he was freshly grilled, it was delicious, but I've already eaten better ... especially the shrimp has been lacking a bit of garlic Sun ^ ^.
On the last day, Monday, we reported together with the other for a tour of
. We started the morning at 10 with a pick up. We girls were allowed to sit in it and fortunately the guys were sitting in the back. But before we could ever really started, we had to fill up for now. Of course there is no gas station in Jeri, so we are moved one house to another, and there have asked for diesel ... had very interesting. Then, the driver may raise diesel and as we were riding on, the car is no longer called. So everyone get out and push the guys and all were allowed back inside. That was true of the laugh. Was kind of funny that it is not there started, but what we make contact at some point if it no longer starts up later? Well, first time no matter and go. It all the time went by and dunes along the beach, I have no idea how the driver has found the way, but it worked. The first stop was at a small pond, where we would go for R $ 10 boat and sea horses can be seen, wanted we did not. So we went to a big dune, where we were able to sand boarding - so as snowboarding in just sand. Since I had also really want to, but the wind was so hot and I have all the time blown sand in the eyes, that I had to do without. The guys have tried it all, but none has succeeded. ^ ^ After we drove for another half hour, came the next highlight is a car ferry. In the photo she could thus see a thing, to get it, were two wooden boards used as a ramp and then let's go. It was really an adventure. On the other hand, we have seen then as a car remained stuck and has another tries desperately to pull it ... pulled up the rope! Next, it has led us through a kind of forest where the roots of the trees by the water was already flushed completely free. That was so close again and sandy, that the whole time with the fear of living had put himself to stay. As a surprising way traffic has appeared before us, our driver did, however, continued well not really, so we had to wait until the other back down ... but in the end, the whole trip worth it, because we are at the Lagoa Torta, a total beautiful lagoon, came out. Actually was totally abandoned, but there were so many people, that was almost back shame. It was able to eat fresh fish and water relax in the hammock ... sooo beautiful. To 2, then we had to unfortunately leave the paradise on earth and go back because the waves were stronger. Fortunately the engine the first time has started, ever have one less worry. The waves were really high and has increased the fear of being stuck somewhere. Back at the car ferry, we had to really wait until our turn came, that is, we had more time to watch all the others. The waves were strong and the men had to fight real, get the cars back over. Well one day we were at it and then almost at the finish, but then our driver was there not to be left out, because other Cars remained stuck. So the poor had to ferry men to work harder and give us the determination to flow
to another location. Once there, we wanted to go straight from the ferry down when the engine has stalled ... Oh no! I think all of us was shock in his face and the driver flipped out, screamed and beat on the steering wheel. He has tried the car again to make the first time: did not, the second time: went! Oh man, maybe that was a scary moment. It is then only going down from the ferry and losgedüst. He is probably not entirely down on the wooden boards and has somehow got the rear tire flat. Then there were several moments where we were not sure whether the water is already too deep or the road was too muddy, but in the end we are well arrived back at home. Such an adventure ... Back at the village, we encounter the guys already. We were then again tapioca eat and watch at the beach for the last time the sunset and watch the capoeira. For dinner there was one last time for classy pizza Rodizio with lobster pizza and chocolate pizza with strawberries, yummy stuff, then the last time cocktails, beach and campfire. This morning we slept
would be almost, but the boys have woken to the good, so we could have breakfast one last time delicious and by 8 we had to leave Jeri again. The ride was pretty relaxed, I completely slept through three hours and not even noticed that even on the bus "Keinohrhasen" was shown in Portuguese.
So all in all it was a perfect trip and when I have time, I will definitely go back there. Jericoacoara is the most peaceful place where I was before.
Today is National Day here, but up to a few small fireworks and far too many people on our jogging track one does not notice it much.
The dearest Greetings! xxx
