I'm headed north ,,,,,

Leaving Valadares was hard this year , flying was good and I like spending time with my flying buddies some of which were staying on , but all good things must end and on to the next adventure . Last day in GV I rode my bike up to launch to say bye to everyone and then hit the road to Prado in Bahia for Carnival .
The ride was busy and long I was so tired and we arrived at 9;30pm well after dark and on super busy hwy I didn't help that i put on my new visor which is tinted dark ! But we made it , and ended up spending the next 5-6 days relaxing, eating and flying ,oh a little drinking as well as dancing . The flying was coastal and fun for the guys whom had never done this before , like Wayne , Lyle and Doug it was really great ! Lots of hangovers after the parties... thanks Wayne for getting me home at 6am when it was sunny out !!
Our little group split up Wayne headed back to Rio, Doug and the rest headed to GV and I went north on the BR101 highway. I put in 3 600km days then needed a rest which was at Porto de Galinhas south of Renclife nice spot but a tourist trap , very expensive and I hit the weekend ! 1 days rest, went running, swimming and touring around ! I headed north again towards Fortaleza and stopped at a place I had always heard about called Canoa Quebrada from flying magazines , lots of big dunes and sand and windmills , nice place to hang about and learn kitesurfing. I did not want to go further towards Fortaleza , I could see a big storm brewing , when I went thru the city to get to Paracuru north of the city I missed the rain by about 20 minutes and the roads were flooding in some places , I am staying at Pousada SOL e Lua which is owned by a pilot Roland Zgraggen from Switzerland whom I knew thru paragliding and Urs Harri, Small world I met him in GV and he said he was now living in the north and to come and see him. The bike is ready i'm finishing my blog and ready to hit the Amazon river ferry from Belem to Manaus. yahhooo...
