Sept 11th
Last day in Salvador
I woke up early to spend my last day in Salvador off the ship as much as possible. After recruiting Christina and Tirney to venture out with me, we walked around more of Salvador and stopped for a relaxing Brazilian café on the way. After picking up Marisa from the ship, we headed to the grocery store to stock up on granola bars for future missed breakfasts and Guarana (red bull made some natural Amazonian ingredients). While at the grocery store, I delightfully discovered the cheapest place to get the much sought after Havianas flip flops! With a few more left over reais to spend, we headed to the upper city for burgers, suco de goiaba (juice of guava) and acai. Acai is a tropical berry found in the Amazon that is coveted in America as an antioxidant powerhouse. Since we were in Brazil, we felt we had to try it. It came out like a slushy ice cream, mixed in was a honey/syrup and sprinkled on top were banana and granola. It was the best damn ice cream sundae I have ever had and the best way to leave Brazil. We headed back to the ship past “pee street” on which we actually saw a man peeing right in front of us. Lovely last image of Brazil. Once back on the ship we headed to the seventh deck for the captain’s BBQ to socialize and catch up with friends that just got back from other adventures.
Highs and Lows
My “high” was staying up with Kyle till 2AM for no reason just laughing hysterically. My “low” getting my first case of explosive traveler’s diarrhea after leaving the lettuce on my burger during my last meal.
