Well after two big days of 65 and 75 miles my body has had enough. Last night I camped in Aracaju but I didn\u2019t spend much time in my tent! I spent most of the night in the toilet block with Freddie the frog. Gastroenteritis meant I\u2019d had no more than an hours sleep. I think this was due to the 2 large burgers I had the night before from a kiosk in the centre of Japoate. Thankfully the two massive flying cockroach type creatures didn\u2019t get me and I evicted them from my \u00a35 a night room but not before one flew up my shirt , which meant I strained my shoulder. This is the first time I\u2019ve felt this bad on the entire trip.<\/p>\n

I had nothing to eat for brekkie, but I couldn\u2019t have faced food anyway.I packed up very slowly, trying to keep in the shade of the palm trees. I just had no energy and felt weak. I considered trying to get to the next campsite 27 miles away, but realised I was not going to make Salvador by Christmas and wisely found a hostel only a couple of miles away. During this tough packing up time I was lifted by some small monkey type of animals chatting away and playing in the trees. They even kept still long enough for me to take some pictures.<\/p>\n

Marmoset in the palm trees, kept me company this morning<\/p><\/div>\n

I left at about 8.30 and found the hostel quite easily. The check in was meant to be from 1 pm but I think they may have taken pity on me and let me in early via google translate. The receptionist was very helpful and could probably see that I needed a bed!<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019ve checked in to the Aju hostel which is lovely with air con and a pool, so hopefully drinking black tea and plenty of rest should see me enjoy Christmas on the beach. I hope you all have a good Christmas and a wonderful new year! Missing you all.<\/p>\n

Anything is possible if you really want to be adventurous!!<\/p>\n

Hostel Aju 36 reais +12 for brekkie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
