The night before disembark from Cidade De Sao Mateus 19.8 miles offshore Brazil

Tonight i feel so excited!! My heart beat was fast until i went to take a shower to cool down myself. I could not believe i will be so excited..why? I never been so excited b4...may be staying too long on board the vessel ba...Finally, i disembark from the vessel after about 8 weeks stay on board the vessel.


This is the 1st time i am in Brazil and the place really caught me by suprise. The city (Vitoria)is so nicely developed. The road is clean, the buidings are nicely planned and maintained and the environment is so relaxing. Hard to describe but the people, the environment, the feeling (not forgotten)is so nice....Flying from Spore-Paris-Rio-Vitoria from 13Mar 09 arriving in Vitoria on the 14Mar around 930pm local time. ( The time in vitoria is 11hrs slower than the time in spore..not it is 0000 8may09.)

Check-in, take a shower me and collegue head on to for dinner in the restaurant in the hotel. It took us about 45min wating for the food, noted that there was no one in the restaurant except the 2 of us. Anyway the dinner is quite good. The prawn is just damn nice. Next activities was to walk around the hotel area (it was almost 1130pm)and not far from our hotel is where they call the golden triangle ...lot of bars with loud music etc...We couldnt decide the bar so we hop from one bar to another as we only meant to look around...something funny is that none of them speak english...haha and so we cant order beer from the menu...but by pointing to the beer that we want....be prepared if you want to travel around brazil...
We had one or 2 drinks in the bar and continued hopping to another which have more people and better music... Saturday night in golden triangle is so happening, full of youngsters and the gals are nicely dress up so do the guys...we notice one thing and it might be part of their culture...the people will sit and chat for a long time at one place...1st i dont understand y ..but now i know, the brazillian is just to much talkative...Opps, no offence amigo / amiga..but it is true. :) We knock off at about 2am in the morning. Quite exciting night out and we still have 1 day before embark on the 15Mar.

On sunday morning we went out walking along the beach opposite out hotel...though the sand is not natural ( i think so ) the sea breeze is just refreshing. As usual, gals will be in their bikini and man will be in their trunk playing volleyball, soccer etc...wow the gals here are hot!!! We went to another beach Pria De Canto before lunch...it was all about beaches for the whole morning.We were tired so just rest in the hotel for the whole afternoon....the night itself i happen to meet brian and we went out for drink at the golden triangle. Didnt chat with Brian for quite sometime after he didnt turn up for our weekly soccer games in spore...so we had a good chat for about 2 to 3 hrs...didnt really remember but one thing for sure is that we had a good chat. One Beer after another until we all had enough. Happy spend a night with my friend in vitiria prior to kick start of working days...60days onboard.

So, what am i going to do tomorrow?? or should be today afternoon and tonight ?? Need to talk to the local to have some suggestion but im sure will not spend time sleeping in the hotel.....
