Morro de São Paulo is an island right off the coast of Salvador. It´s packed with young travellers and said to be Salvador´s busiest beach town. Somehow the streets are still made of sand and once you pass Second Beach there are some secluded stretches of coastline. We managed to find a lovely pousada just far enough away from the action. The extensive, complementary breakfast spread got us all out of bed in the a.m. and we pretty much spent the rest of the day trying to find cooler waters and shade to relieve us of the midday heat and searching for the most authentic caipirinhas (or capernums as Jude liked to say) come nightfall. Linnea and I met some really interesting people from all over the world, but Jude and Rob were by far our best company. Hadn´t laughed that hard in quite some time.
