Hanging out in Sao Luis
This post does not relate to any other topics
We are now sitting in a hotel in Sao Luis following over 30 hours of travelling and waiting at airports… Following some slight confusion at the airport Serginho finally showed up, and we also met Noelio and Junior, a couple of the Pororoca pioneers and heads of the Pororoca surfing associations, nationally and locally respectively.
Serg told us he resisted anouncing our arrival in Sao Luis to the media and local government since the first international bore riding convention would create considerable publicity. So hopefully we will be able to get on and surf the tides in relative peace…
The action kicks of on Thursday morning. This afternoon we will settle for a surf in a slightly blown out ocean, and some serious catch up on sleep deprivation from travel… Excitement continues to build.
Oh, and how stoked was I to discover this beachside hotel has Firefox :)

The Journey Begins
This post does not relate to any other topics
It is 1am and I am sitting in Heathrow airport for the first time in 12 years waiting for our flight to Brazil via Lisbon. Quite an exciting experience…. Heathrow has changed a lot since I was last here and was so surprised to see internet access (ok probably been the norm for quite a while) that I thought I should just post my delight!
Well since the seconds are ticking away at an extortionate pace I will leave it at that, besides to say that anticipation is high for the adventure that awaits us in the Amazonian jungle and our confrontation with the Pororoca….
Oh, I should just say, slightly dismayed to discover I have to resort to single tab browsing in M$ explorer :(
