As followers of the travel blog might have noticed there haven´t been any updates for 10 days. That is first of all a matter of limited time at the computer, but secondly, and that´s objectively the greater impact, that we didn´t want to miss out on any activities, parties and meetings of the wonderful couchsurfing community in Fortaleza. The time here has flown and we had planned only 2 nights in Fortaleza, now we already stayed 10.
In between Fortaleza and Fortaleza we spend one and a half days in Jericoacoara, a `backpacker´s hideaway´ as Lonely Planet calls it, but it could be described as a european colony somewhere in Far Far Away!
It is a 7 hours journey away from Fortaleza and already the way there is an adventure. The last 25 km are on a dirt road, but if you expect a dirt road, don´t be disappointed, it´s more like a dirt path in between sand dunes, the beach, villages which surprisingly seem to recieve TV-signals and neverending grass-and bushland. The beauty of Jericoacoara is its isolated location with a great, shiny sky at night, its sourrounding sand dunes and a unique sunset in Brazil on the sea which can be seen from one of the sand dunes. It does sound romantic, well, it is. Jeri is the perfect place for a honeymoon, a place to spend time in a hammock, drinking Caipirinha from one of the many mobile beach esplanade drink sellers or just enjoy the hideaway for meeting other travellers. It is hard though to meet brazilians or locals, due to its high prices. Well, we are back in Fortaleza and don´t know how much time we´ll allow more to experience the many joys of Ceara´s capital.
