Life´s a beach with a caipirinha in hand

well we´ve been doing a lot of relaxing since the craziness of carnival. We cruised down the coast in a few very bumpy non airconditioned buses (it was VERY hot!) to a beautiful surfy beach town called Itacare. Here life is slow and relatively crime free which helps, you can in fact walk around with your camera and not feel as though a guy might jump out of the bushes and rob you. Always nice! We spent many days here, eating BBQ haloumi sticks by day on the beach and caipirinhas by night and chillaxing on the hammock in between.
As appears to be the way in South America though, nothing tends to run as smoothly as you anticipate in fact we were without running water for nearly 48 hours, yep no flushing toilets, running water...the place was humming! The most amusing thing was the reaction of the hostel owner, a bit of shrug and a comment of ´it happens´, so we relaxed a little more into the South American way and forgot about the stench!!
