Wow! After 5 days in the empty ocean we finally saw today the land – the Brasilian province of Pernambuco. Welcome to South America! Different world… 30 deg Celcius already in the morning, high humidity. At 8 am I was already on the shore, where junk bus was taking us to the terminal. Local, colorful band was welcoming us here. And outside the building a lot of police officers were care about our safety. Well, this is poor Brasilian Nordeste. This is my fifth visit to Recife. The old part of the city located near the port is still charming. I took a long stroll in the strong sun trying to find the old, well- known places. Nice walkunder the palm and other tropical trees, they are in blossom here while in cold Europe is snow..
