I'll be heading down to Salvador at the end of Feb for a week or so with the final days coinciding with first couple of days of Carnaval.
ANY VT CREW GOING TO BE DOWN THERE AND WANT TO HAVE A DRINK?
Salvador de Bahia... ohhh, I wish I could join but...
I advise you to book the accommodation asap as the city gets totally booked for the Carnaval. And bear in mind that for the Carnaval they mostly sell packages for let's say 5 nights.
Enjoy my beloved city!

Too hard to get off the island by ferry at that time.....
Thanks guys. I'm all set on accommodation, as I am visiting a friend who lives there. She will be my guide. Hopefully I'll escape after only a couple of nights of Carnaval so as to survive :)
I´m from Bahia (it is a state from Brazil)!
So I´m a 'baiana' and it is also the name of tipial girls who are dressed in the streets of Salvador( Bahia´s capital).
I will show you a picture, ok?
We smile a lot in Bahia, a happy people!
At any time of the day you will see these little coffee-cars with with decorations beyond imagination especially in the city center. Some are very basic, but lots of them are equipped with fantastic loudspeakers, and painted like the real trio electricos. They offer coffee and tea and cocoa, always quite sweet, with or without milk, in little plastic cups for around 25 centavos.
Did you ever experience the colour of the DEEP BLUE SEA? Unbelievable!
Go linefishing with a local fisherman, he knows how to find the best spots, he will show you how to fish on a longline, he will let you pull his line if you like, and he will do what he can to make sure you dont feel uncomfortable during the trip. He knows what bait to use, and provides ofcourse whatever is needed.
Snacks and drinks can be arranged, or bring your own.
The captain is familiar with the sea, the bay, and all the islands around here, and will gladly take you to the best locations for a daytyrip. He is an experienced diver too, and the boat is equipped with air compression equipment.
If you go during the months of august and september, you will have opportunity to see humpback whales!!!!
Price goes from 300R$ to go to the nearest islands for up to 6 people.
Fishingtrips are around 300R$ for 1 prs, and 600R$ for up to4 prs.
Divingtrips have to be arranged individually. For fishing, you are welcome to bring your own gear, or you can use the "original stuff" that is long nylonlines with hooks and lead attatched, pulled by hand.
Bring sunprotection, a hat and some clothes in case of sun and/or rain.
A great option while in Salvador is to take a day off, rent a car ang go up to Litoral Norte (north coast). That region is called 'The brasilian Polinesia'... The beaches are simply wonderful, calm, not too crowded. If you like turtles, go to Praia do Forte, to know the Tamar Project, but I personally think it's a bore. Go to the small almost virgin beaches, spend a day under the shadows of the coconut trees (the road you're taking is actually called Estrada do Coco - Coconut drive). Here's a little map of the beaches...
Interesting place to dance. If you are not tolerant about people´s sexual options, I have 2 recommendations:
1. Don´t go to Off Club
2. Go to the shrink
If you´re lucky, there will be go-go boys dancing in micro thongs... yahoooo! Dress fine and creative. I don´t recommend high heels... this is a dancing place, for Christ Sake!
