We arrived in Belém and quickly made our way to the Uber driver. As we had arrived in the middle of the night, it was hard to see our surroundings, other than the endless potholes in the road. In broken English, our driver managed to point out that to our right was port Belém, where we could take our ferry off into the Amazon…
Frenchies to Fortaleza
The day had come to leave our idyllic town of Jeri, and head off for the jungle (cue guns and roses). We asked the receptionist at Villa Chic if she could book us a taxi a couple days before the big day. The trip would take us roughly 4 hours to get to the Fortazela, before departing for Belem, the river mouth city!

Paradise tends to burn

Braindead, I write this post from a seat of a bus, the final leg to Jericoacoara. Yes! Finally, we made it. After an exhausting 26 hours of…… Read more “Lisbon to São Paulo to Fortaleza to Jijoca to Jericoacoara to bed…”
Amsterdam to… Lisbon
Here we go, off into the magical hearth of South America! For so long, we’ve been planning this trip, it feels somewhat surreal that everything is coming together. I sit here, writing this post on a flight from Lisbon to São Paulo.
Our plan was to go straight from Lisbon to Fortaleza, a city in the north of Brazil. However, fate would have it that we would instead trundle about Lisbon for a few hours…
