The park ‘Cidade das Crianças’ had convinced me yesterday and even more my baby Matilda and so we decided to go again, only today, the house with all the toys was closed and we decided to pick up the rests from yesterday’s birthday party. We had arrived at lunchtime; we were the only visitors and had ...
2016-06-04 Natal – Parque da Cidade
I had silently changed picking up my baby Matilda from every fortnight to almost every week, which was perfect but which also meant that I had to spend more and more time in Natal at the house of my friend Sergio and less and less time in Caraubas at my small beach house. Every day ...

2016-05-15 Natal – Iate Clube
I had to go to Natal more and more often, more than I had wanted to but at the same time, I spent more and more time with my baby Matilda more than I had expected or wished for. I had a serious client and wanted my sailing professor Alexandre and the sailor-mechanic-carpenter Walmir to ...
2016-05-08 Natal – Parque das Dunas
Maybe I had been dreaming a bit too much yesterday at the Iate Clube or maybe a catamaran in one of the French overseas departments had been really the first thought of my next project. What had happened to actual my project Rio 2016? I was in the process of renewing all my identification documents and ...

The reason I had come to Brazil 9 years ago was a job offer to manage the commercialization of the development Jacuma Beach Resort in the small village of Jacuma just 35 kilometers to the north of Natal. This beach resort development, my beach resort developmentnever made it past the launch and was killed by the financial ...

After days of wiping and brushing, washing and grooming my small beach house was clean and ready to receive visitors, so I drove quickly to Natal to pick up my baby Matilda from school. At first, she did not like my small beach house, I did not have a refrigerator and no oven, I did ...
2016-03-23 Caraubas
I had plenty of time to clean up my small beach house, day-by-day, room by room, bit by bit. The house was clean now and empty, no furniture, no refrigerator, no oven, no table, no chair, no sofa, no bed. I had my Buddha statue, placed a candle to his feet every night, I had ...

2016-03-09 Canoa Quebrada – Natal
I woke up with the certainty that I would make it to Natal today, I woke up with the certainty that my sun will rise, and I woke up with the certainty that I have had a perfect location to sleep last night. The owner of the shed came to say good morning or maybe ...
2016-03-08 Parnaiba – Canoa Quebrada
I thought I had to give up my nice place underneath the palm tree roof last night and move to the wooden terrace of the beach bar but I resisted the few raindrops that made it through and very quickly the few dark shower clouds moved on and I continued sleeping. I woke up and ...
2016-03-07 Bom Jardim – Parnaiba
Good morning in ‘Good Garden’ and Good Bye. I had driven almost 600 kilometers yesterday and wanted to achieve the same distance today. I have had problems yesterday with the signing or better with the non-signing along the motorway, especially at the roundabouts and crossroads. I had driven probably altogether between 20 – 40 kilometers ...
2016-03-06 Belem – Bom Jardim
The night did not bring any surprises, the morning did; just after sunrise we approached Belem and the activities on board became very quickly very hectic. One hammock after the other disappeared and all passengers were packing up their stuff. I had the time to watch each one; I knew that I would have to ...
2016-03-05 Manaus – Belem
Santarem had been half the way from Manaus to Belem and during the night, we had passed Almerim and were heading now towards the island of Marajo and the delta of the Amazon River. Incredible fact that one small river arm of the River Amazon, one single small river arm in this huge delta had ...
2016-03-04 Manaus – Belem
My neighbor had forgotten her education rather quickly again and had pushed me, had hit me and had woken me up twice on her way to the bathroom. Being awake though I did not miss the arrival in Santarem at midnight, our port for the next 12 hours, leaving the ship allowed. The Amazon Star ...
2016-03-03 Manaus – Belem
Who woke me up this morning? Was it my angel, was it the Holy Spirit or was it my neighbor with his favorite extremely loud church music? With my eyes still closed and half asleep I asked for a little bit more respect for me and my fellow sleepers, for the mothers who had small ...
2016-03-02 Manaus – Belem
The car had been parked in front of the ship all night but was finally scheduled this morning to enter the cargo area. I was curious to understand the procedure because the lower deck of the ship where my friend will be parked was about 1 meter below the surface of the dock. At the ...
2016-03-01 Rorainopolis – Manaus
I had some sleep or maybe it was just rest but whatever it was, enough to start the engine of the car, drive to the next supermarket, buy a Coca Cola and drive off. Just an hour later I reached latitude 00°00°00 and longitude 60°38°45 in the middle of the Amazon forest, I occupied one ...
2016-02-29 Boa Vista – Rorainopolis
I was excited about the day and woke up early. I packed my backpack and left my beach resort with my last 6 Reales, walked in the early morning heat to the shopping and waited for the next bus. The bus was 3 Reales and I spent the remaining 3 Reales for a Coca Cola ...
2016-02-28 Boa Vista
I thought the crowd of visitors would wake me up this morning but no, it was still quiet except 1 snack stand and 1 drink stand had built up their business right at the river. That was kind of a sign that at some point during the day the crowd would be coming. I wanted ...
2016-02-27 Boa Vista
The wind did not bring rain yesterday and I had another peaceful night between my trees. I did some washing and left the clothes at my trees to dry and walked to the restaurant, asked for a drink, asked to leave the backpack for the day and asked if the ‘Senhora’ would prepare some lunch ...
2016-02-26 Boa Vista
My fire had been a success, my sleep had been a success and the Paracetamol had been a success. I bought a drink at the restaurant and had the first Paracetamol of the day; whenever the effect of the Paracetamol vanished I could feel a wave of fever and pain coming back and decided to ...
