At the bus station we met up with some other travellers: James and Mianne, a couple from the UK; Nattalie, half English half Brazilian (big help - she speaks Portugues); and Eran, Isralie. The bus ride out to Jeri was unevertful until we got to Jeri. The bus dropped us off in the 'town square' and left us to the sharks. There were about twenty people all trying to get us to stay in there accomodation (low season means slim pickings for them). Carnage I tell you - it was the nightmare of Salvadore all over again. I stayed with James to mind the bags while the other four went Possada hunting. They did very well at the end of the day. They decided to the best option was with Passada Senzala. A little more expensive but the best choice by far. The owner was a man named Itama who also owned and ran the local nightclub. Just to our advantage. The rest of the day was one long piss-up and I only got to bed just before the sun came up.
