(^106) A car wash in Coruripe made it a perfect place to wash the bikes. They sprayed and
scrubbed, and eventually the bikes came out sparkling clean. The sleepy fishing
community of Pontal do Coruripe was merely five to seven kilometres away.
Featuring narrow cobbled lanes and a small central square, Pontal do Coruripe was
a quaint community where ladies sat outside their homes, weaving or chatting with
neighbours.
Seeing that the previous night’s accommodation was free, we splashed out and got
a lovely guesthouse featuring a sea view.
Pontal Coruripe – Barra de São Miguel - 60 km
Being November and summer in Brazil, it was no surprise to find, once again, a hot
and hilly ride into the wind, but Amanda cycled like a pro. The best part of the day
was reaching Sao Miguel and finding a bungalow sporting a swimming pool, stacks
of palm trees and a hammock.
By evening, I put my smelly shoes on the veranda and woke to find the dogs had
eaten my single pair of footwear. Buying a new pair required borrowing Amanda’s
shoes to visit the store. The rest of the day was spent doing the usual rest day
chores as well as trying to get Amanda’s bank card activated.
