 * Friday 8th June**



Recife's beautiful coastline just says it all "Bom divertimento!" "Enjoy yourself/have fun". This is the first thing I think about when I think Brazil. The language is full of Life itself. Such a beautiful country, the atmosphere is one of excitement and although pretty much relaxed there is always "something "in the air". I am naturally adventurous so I took the liberty at the Hotel business centre spending some time on the internet learning the language online! (such a novel idea) I must say it is indeed exciting to be able to communicate in a foreign toungue and be understood by someone else who can't speak English.



I can't help it the environment and the landscape it one thing I noticed the most about this place. And not to mention the beautiful people. And it is Friday too! I shall be checking out the nightlife!



Upon asking some locals what the night life was like, this is what one of them had to tell me:

"Recife offers the old city and a nice beach ---where you are advised not to swim, not even waist deep, because of sharks. The restaurants are great. But if you are after clubbing and partying the best place to go is Rio where they have 24 hour parties!"

"Olinda on the other hand has great views and lots of shops with traditional crafts housed in Colonial era buildings. You can see the Carnaval dolls and pose by them. At night along the orla, there are restaurants with tables on the breakwaters."

"Praia de Galinhas is another resort town (shops, restaurants, etc), not with the charm of Praia do Forte, but with a beautiful beach. It's about an hour south of Recife. Don't miss the caldas, little cups of different kinds of soup sold from rolling carts along the beach. They go perfectly with a cold beer."

I will take good advice. Its Olinda Next I guess.
