(^36) Barra do Sahy, Putirí Beach – Linhares – 80 km
The coastal route ended, and our sole option was to head inland and join the busy
BR101 passing vast timber plantations. Unfortunately, the way was undulated, and
Amanda had to hike her bike up a hill or two. The best part of the day was spent
pedalling past ylang-ylang plantations. The sweet and exotic fragrance of the
flowers filled the air. I couldn’t think of anything better than biking with the smell of
ylang-ylang filling the air.
The BR101 was busy but offered a wide shoulder making cycling more relaxing. The
route was littered with cold drink and crafty stalls but, unable to buy anything, we
could only snap a few pictures.
At Linhares, it took pedalling around the not-so-glamorous town to find reasonably
priced accommodation. The shocking (or amusing) discovery was the address
Amanda gave the bank to send the card wasn’t where we thought! The inn she
booked turned out somewhere close to the ocean and not in Sao Matheus, as
intended.
