Adventurer – Critic – Photographer
My small beach house was clean and I have had my first visitor, my baby Matilda, the bank had issued my credit and debit cards and I went to pick them up. My life was slowly coming back to the old routine and my project Rio 2016 was drifting away. I still needed all my ...
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 ...
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 ...
I had spent 2 days at my friend Sergio’s house in Natal to organize my life again, first to order all the credit and debit cards at my house bank, second, to organize the cleaning and small repair of my sailing boat and update on potential clients and third, to pick up my belongings at ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Everybody was ready, ready to leave but first to the gas station to fill up the tank. I was prepared to say good-bye here at the Balneario but now I took the opportunity to drive with my friends to the gas station next to the shopping. Everybody was ready, ready to leave but first to ...
We all slept up to the last minute, the last hour, actually until midday; no hangover but just joy to be able to stay in bed or in the hammock and let the day develop. My friends had decided to stay one more day and really enjoy that free day. It was delivery day for ...
I had a descent sleep in a perfect location, a fresh and cool wind all night, no offensive noise from the nearby bridge and the main road Boa Vista – Venezuela and extremely friendly neighbors; obviously my friends but as well the owner of the restaurant. I had to organize my life, organize the revision ...
Time to say good-bye, not so difficult for me but for my friends; they had spent quite some time together during the last month, had known each other actually even longer and had met in different countries at different places throughout their journeys. Christian was ready, Ana not really, so the good-bye ceremony became a ...
My grass bed had been comfortable up to the point when the sky decided to cry, just a few tears but enough to make me crawl underneath the Iveco. The morning activities were; everybody prepared some kind of food for breakfast, 2 tables were placed in between 2 vans underneath a plastic cover that had ...
I had slept all night, maybe due to the 2 Paracetamol pills or simply due to my physical state of pain and exhaustion. The night had been short though and I woke up at 05:00 hours in the morning, I had slept pretty much all day yesterday and now all night. The pills had worked ...
