spongey you can always fly to rio or vitoria from bh....quick and cheap flight

Originally posted by spongebob - i can tell you that i wish i lived on the beach, or at least near one. unfortunately, brasil is so freaking big that it takes hours and hours to reach one if you live in the interior like i do. i think it would be more fun to live in brasil at the beach. (maybe some of you do, so you can tell me if i'm right or wrong.

I live a block away from the Beach and use it as much as possible, its free to use and has some amazing views.

Good for running or going for long walks either on the promenade or with your feet getting wet whilst walking along the waters edge.

Some times when the water looks clean enough like it has done recently I go for a dip, its been so clear over the last few months I'd say the visibility would be just over two meters almost like the Caribbean.

Its lined with bars for enjoying a early evening drink and mostly always has some life and some buzz about it if you find you ever get bored just head down the beach to see whats going on, entertain your eyes.

I love it when we come back from a club and around 7/8 am the suns coming up and all the old people are going for their morning exercise, if we are feeling strong enough we finish the night with a caipirinha at a beach bar.

I wouldn't bother living in Brazil if I didn't have easy access to the sea/beach and warm tropical weather, those two things make up for so many headaches this place can cause.

The beaches are the best things, apart from the women (of course) that Brazil has to offer IMHO.

hpeak.. But living REAL close to the beach is even better.  The whole reason I don't travel is paranoia due to plane crashes. Probably a lousy excuse nowadays.. knock on wood though. This is the advantage to living in Europe: everything is much more accessibe.

Boycie.. 12 gauge is good, especially with that guy that executed those people at a fazenda. Did anybody ever find out why he did that? The motive? Some of the craziest things happen. Not far from here a guy shot a guy with 2 kids in the back of the head because he wanted his Honda Titan motorcycle. (That's why I ride around on the non-sexiest thing possible).

Sorry you've lost me? are you staying your worried about personal safety and that's why you live in a small town in the interior?

If I had the money I wouldn't think twice about driving my Mercedes or Porsche around Zona Sul Rio or Barra for that matter, plenty of nice cars to be seen around here that don't get any trouble.

Boycie - You live in Europe thats why? haha, Brazil is a huge country, i live in the interior also but i wouldnt have any trouble driving or riding most things here, just need to be careful and dont stop too long on the bandit highways, but things can happen anywhere. My friends young son was pulled off his bike by someone doing a strangle choke on him as he rounded a corner, he lives in the city. The police laughed when he called to report it.
