Walk to Moreré

Today we got up early, had our before breakfast swim as we wanted to set off to walk to Moreré at low tide, in order to cross the river easily.
We will not be able to prolong our stay as the Pousada is fully booked until the end of January.
Thus we will leave as planned on Monday.

We left at 10 am walking long the beaches.
Boca de Barra
Praia Tassimirim
Praia da Cuero
Then cross the river to get to the beaches of Moreré.
We stopped at a restaurant (Paraiso) and had something to drink.
I ordered water, a coconut and a fresh Maracujá juice, which is my favourite.
They are natural and have no sugar added. 
We stayed a while in the shadow, went for a paddle in the warm water and set off again, when the place became too busy for our liking.
We walked through the little forest to Moreré village and stopped at the end of the village beach at a hut for a tapioca.
Then we walked on to Bainema Beach, which is one of the biggest, quietest and nicest beaches.
We decided to walk to the end and check out a beach bar we had read about.
The tide was high and the sand was not easy to walk.
Boipeba has a lot of different sands, often at one beach alone.
This one was sucking your feet in and it was hard to walk, but after half an hour for the approximately 2 kms, we turned around the corner and found Pontal de Bainema, a really cool place, slightly hippie and very relaxed. 
We stayed there for a coffee, that took forever to arrive and had a swim.

I received a text from Jack, who was just released from hospital!!!
He had an artery blockage and got a stent !!!
Good grief!! I was always worried about him working far to hard and worrying about work all the time!
I told him to relax and not work until he is recovered. Health is more important.
I hope he will do so!

We set off at 5 pm as we wanted to catch the tractor from Moreré Tractor point. On the way back the tide was going out and we walked on a different quality of sand, which was much easier to walk and saved us 10 minutes to reach the end of the beach.
At the tractor point we actually decided to take a Quad-bike home. It costs 20 Reais per person, which is 4 Pounds instead of 10 Reais/2 Pounds on the trailer.
It was a fun ride and much faster than the tractor.
We got off at Velho's Tractor Stop and walked back into town directly to Cheiro do Flor for a coffee and an Acai.
We were knackered after 20 km we walked today in the sun on the sand.

Before 8 pm we walked home and  stopped at Bahia Terra to pay for our transfer back to Salvador on Monday.
In our house we had a shower and did not feel like much further activity at all.
We managed to get to the bar for a beer and a chat with Aldemir, then fell to bed.

There is still water shortage on the island and inhabitants are revolting as the authorities are not fixing the issue. But everyone hopes that tomorrow all will be back to normal.
We are very lucky that our Pousada has their own reservoir and we only had a couple of hours without water a week ago or so.
