Took a 4WD taxi 40mins across the dunes to Lagoa de Paradiso - a fresh water lagoon in the middle of nowhere. Again it was a nice new perspective to see th extent of the sand. Throughout the day the passing clouds cover the different dunes with patterns, ... Read more >

Better conditions today, wind is up. Took one board out with Magga our instructor. Lots of laughs and Magga yelling "Elissa, let go of the sail if you fall off!". More about sailing than boarding, so a real challenge but heaps of fun. Got some good wind ... Read more >

Everaldo told us to stay for breakfast "I control the bus..." he said. What he meant was you can hear the bus coming into town, so we should just relax then walk down. 6 hours back to Salvador and we treated ourselves to a nice hotel for the night.
