 * Wednesday 6th - Thursday 7th June**

After spending two days in the capital with the group, we decided to split up and I decided to explore the North East Region. My first stop was Recife. I stayed at the Best Western Manibu Recife which is a Two and half star hotel.

This hotel is 1 km (less than a mile) from Boa Vaigem Beach and 3 km (about 2 miles) from Shopping Center Recife.

The hotel staff were well presented and very pleasent greeting us with a " Bom tarde!" Good Afternoon and "Como Vai?" How are you? when we checked into the hotel: Such lively people Brazilians.

Hotel amenities include a restaurant, a lobby bar, an outdoor pool with waterfall, a fitness room, and a sauna. They even have a business centre, a gym and disbaled facilities.

My room ws a twin share room which I shared with my friend and the rooms was fully air-conditioned and had satellite television, direct-dial phones, minibars, and hair dryers.

My friend forgot what her mother had told here about having a swim right after she had eaten and she ended up having a cramp in the pool! fortunately the hotel had a doctor on call and he was over tending to my friend within seconds, then I wished I had had the cramp and not my mate hehehe.

One thing about Brazil is that the people are so beatiful looking, God has truly blessed them in the areas of looks besides the usual beatiful naturl landscapes and environment and flora and fauna.

Having had a tour of the hotel itself we have found that withint the hotel there is a shopping arcade! we still couldn't get ove rthe fact that there ws so many beutiful looking people around, ended up walking up and down the hall ways when we decided we might just look too desperate for confort so we called it quits and went out to dinner in the resturant.

PS. The hotel has almost everything within itself, you may just not need to venture out to the main city centre. However there was too mny things to look at we couldn't be kept indoors.

Tomorrow we go out for the day on the town, we thought we would also check out Recife's nightlife before we move down the coast.
