thumbnail image From the park, we headed our for another long day of driving. The bus is still sputtering and I think the issue is now the the distributor itself. When I watch the timing mark with a light, the advance seems to go backwards before forward. Och, it's inconsistent. I've lubricated it, but nothing changes. I'll ...

Maranhão Dunas

thumbnail image There have been impressive sand dunes for hundreds of kilometers, but Parque Nacional Lençois Maranhenses is a highlight. Först, you have to take a 4 wheel drive jeep equipped with a snorkel to even get out there.  It takes about an hour driving through sand and lagoons. In the end, you're led into an otherworldly ...

thumbnail image We were on our way to Barra Grande (Ceará), on a tip, and only ten minutes down the road we were stalled. The bus was 'missing', sputtering and jumping and generally not running well. We pulled over on the side of the road and Jason went to work on the engine, while we tried to ...

thumbnail image From Canoa Quebrada, we drove 200 km to Cumbuco. We had originally planned a day in Fortaleza, but after meandering through town, we just didn't feel compelled to stop. Supposedly, they have the 'tallest waterslide in the world'. 14 berättelser. It costs a fortune. Bode has been talking smack about Insano for at least a ...

thumbnail image From San Miguel de Gostoso, we made the fairly uninteresting drive along the back roads toward Areia Branca. Other than a quick beach stop at the beginning, there weren't many highlights. Lots of lowland muddy salt flats and a pretty ugly salt industry.  And, the farther we get into Ceará state, the more animals we ...
