We left Barra do Cunhau. It's not anymore a place of tranquility since 40 people of an organized kitetour overflooded the nice spot.Two days ago we landed in Canoa Quebrada. Canoa used to be a little fishing village until the hippies and dropouts discovered the secluded place in the 70's. In 1982 the government built a street to Canoa. More and more tourists visited the place with it's magnificent beach. The hippies detected the capitalism and opened restaurants, bars and pousadas.
Canoa is also well known among paragliders it's a great place to soar along the coastline. Actually the wind is way to strong for paragliding and we go for a nice kitesurf-session. I played a little bit around with my GoPro HD cam and mounted it into the kite while Sabi trained to go biiiig!
Canoa has some excellent barracas (simple restaurants or bars with fresh seafood and drinks) at the beach but... damn it... today the place was full of police and people from the press! - What happened? - A week ago Dilma Rousseff has been elected as the new president of Brazil. Since most barracas in Canoa were built illegal Mrs Rousseff decided to close them all and 600 people lost their work.
Hope the local government will find a solution the next couple of days... no hipp hipp hurrah today
