...And next stop is Arraial da Ajuda...

The sun was shining as I got to Porto Seguro after a 9 hour bus ride during the night. Not so bad, but they did blast the A/C. Yes Roi, you told me but this was ridiculous. I was wearing not so thin jeans and an Adidas jacket + a "wind-stopper" and could still feel it. At least the seats were mad comfortable. And seeing the sun rise in a misty landscape was amazing. Got a few cool pics of it, which I will post as soon as I can. [Updated]

Arraial hasn't changed too much since I was last here in 2006. Still has a cosy feel to it. Checked in at a really beautiful pousada, where I have my own chalet. Pics are coming. [Updated]

And there might be a detour in my plans. A week in NYC, shooting a cool spot. More about that later.

One of the squares. Church in background built by the slaves, as churches was of course segregated back then.

Arraial!
