Salvador - La Villa Francoise
We explored more of the area around out hotel today, taking a walk further along the beach, and to the nearby fort. The street was a hive of activity, as Carnival officially starts in Salvador tomorrow, so stands were being constructed in preparation.
In the evening we headed back into Pelourinho to see a traditional dance show, we arrived early so we sat in the square drinking caipirinhas as the sun went down.The dance show was OK, it managed to hold our attention for an hour or so, but we've both decided that we probably don't need to see any more traditional dance shows - ever!
We took the bus back to Barra, but progress slowed to a crawl as it came to a huge street party. As we were walking distance from our hotel, we hopped out of the bus and made our way through the crowd, past groups of people dancing, drinking, singing, and just having lots of fun, we had no idea this was going to happen tonight, but it gives us a bit of an idea of what to expect in Rio.
