Sweet Dream - Day 7 January 19, 2019



Ahhhhhhh... what a lovely day. A wild colourful bus ride to Bahia Conca. Motor bikes zipping in out of the traffic, heedless of the normal rules, taxis buzzing in and out in front of us. Donkey carts, push carts, pull carts, water sellers on every corner. Window washers ready to clean the windshields at the stop lights. By the way, the buses they travel us around on are fabulous! Cool air con, comfy seats, courteous drivers, altogether making the journeys very pleasant. We drove through the city, suburbs, countryside, out onto a very muddy dirt road, and progressed(regressed) to soft dirt road that eventually ate the tires of the bus in front of us. Arriving at the beautiful bay, we settled in to the ultimate luxury of a day at the beach. Soft sand, clean water, fresh breeze to cool us. Lovely local lady’s offering massages and hair braiding. Lunch was a delectable bbq of culinary offerings to suit every tastebud. We arrived back at the boat in the evening in a soft, gentle, contented state of mind, having decompressed from all the preparations and sailing of the first leg of our journey. The World ARC Organisers have got it RIGHT! And we go on living the Sweet Dream, serenaded by fantastic local music at night.
