On the road to Jacobina

We left chapada after one last waterfall bath and got in our way to Jacobina, for a litlle hangliding competition, 350km away. This was our shorter leg so far and we thought that would be a piece of cake...

almost 300km of roads like that. Unbelievable!

The trip was very slow, stressful, but ecstasiating at the same time. We arrived at jacobina at 9PM, after almost ten hours on the road. 300km in 10 hours! That has to be a record!

A black dust devil! And I started to get a little apprehensive about the conditions of the flight...

Pigs covered with mud crossing the road where just one of the unreal things we saw

A very traditional type of construction in the arid countryside, that me and Joe called "The real middle of nowhere"
