Vida Dulce na Praia de Pipa

Happy to travel lighter, after having sold our bikes in Canoa Quebrada, we still managed to stress the busdriver with our fragile surfboards. But having arrived in Pipa, we know it was the right thing to do. There are great waves in many different wild beaches surrounded by black volcanic and orange sandy rocks. The most inexpecting view on deep blue mother Sea was from the top of a natural platform where two men sitting in the air in total harmony with their paragliders were moving slowly above the powerful atlantic waves breaking on the cliff 50m below.

If you reach this place in the very early morning, you will wake up some 90kg turtle lying on the protected beach. But as lazy guys as we are, we´re also perfectly satisfied with the gorgeous view from our bed across our windowless veranda down to Pipa's bay and the fantastic reefbreak. Our room is actually situated on the top rim of the garden of DJ Uwe's and Evelyne´s german Pousada "Tranceatlãntico".

The main activities of the day consist of: After the first glance from the pillow downto the beach, a first bath at low tide - shower - sumptuous breakfast with fruits even sweeter than in Ceará - shower - discovery-hike to a secluded beach - refreshment in a natural pool, with either coconut or caipirinha for lunch - waiting for a light bus to get back to pipa - shower - caipirissima before and during padi´s surf session (hmm...) at high tide in front of the pousada - shower - relaxing massage for Anh-dao by Keith's special medical treatment on the 6th and 7th vertebrae before dining in a cosy little restaurant (Pipa hosts some delicious gastronomy from around the world) - shower (you can't imagine how good these showers are, with 31 degrees centigrade even at 6 AM!) - sleep in at fullmoon light and the sound of the atlantic ocean.

Now that both of us found Pipa small enough to get one's own fun and live together in harmony with the short daytime, we definitely chose to come back after carnaval and currently put all our energy to have a nice trip to Brasil's Hawaiian Island called Fernando de Norhona for the coming week.

Ciao Padi

Ich lese den Text gar nicht, stelle mir vor dass es die Bilder noch übertreffen würden.
Was meine Lage im Vergleich zu deiner misslich aussehen würde.
Wie auch immer, sehe das es dir gut geht, was mich freut.
Habe wieder mal mein Altpapier geschnürt und bin über eure 2bumbles Visitenkarte gestolpert.

Keep your Knees in the breeze.
