Sand buggy-ing and Pseudo-Ziplining!

Natal was awesome! We went on a Sandbuggy tour of the sand dune and beaches that surround Natal! It was a lot of fun! You basically drive around in a little buggy and go to different beaches, lagoons and stop at random places for random activities. Similar to the desert safari in Dubai but not exactly. At one point, we stopped at a place where you could go sandboarding down one of the dunes or sort of zipline from a dune and land in the water. It was pretty high so it was definately a bit scary but so exhilarating at the same time.

Nadia and I shared a buggy with another couple from the hotel across the street and luckily theyspoke English - thank God! They, too, were really sweet. No matter how nice or interesting a place is, the people you meet along the way is what makes it the most memorable. Guys are exactly the same everywhere - watching them interact was so funny esp since they were newly wed. I´d share some of the jokes but i think you just had to be there! Brazilians are alot like brown ppl - offer to share their food and drinks and are so generous!

Natal is much smaller and much nicer than Salvador. We´ll add it to my honeymoon destinations! Really cute beaches - some isolated and some busy. We stayed in the Ponta negra area which is the most happening area but generally its a chill city. Going back to Rio tmr to finish off the Brazil part of my vacation. We living in luxury again in Natal but back to the hostel world in Rio!
