| Fishing boats at low tide |
After the treat at Ilha Moreré it was difficult to come back down to
earth. It was a bit unfair on Porto da Rua, a picturesque fishing village 70km
away from Maceio. The best thing about the pousada we stayed at was its garden.
It was huge and filled with fruit trees. The first thing that strikes when you
enter the garden is the number of mangoes that litter the ground. There are
hundreds of them. They were ripe and juicy and I readily started picking the
least bruised to eat later.

| Praia Patacho |
The beaches in and around Porto da Rua were absolutely amazing. One of
them, Praia Patacho, was even voted one of the top 5 beaches in Brazil and
that’s saying something. We really enjoyed the empty beaches and the feeling of
being all alone. The lagoon was so warm that it felt like a bath.
Anyway we had a quiet time there before going to the hustle and bustle
of Recife for carnival, the calm before the tempest if you will.
