Helmut,
I’ve been working and actually living in Brazil for five years in a row when I was 26-30 years old.
My life was there.
Since then I’ve gone back to Brazil tens of times, … for many reasons, I don’t think it’s important to say here why ...
And now, since one year, I started to work on the actual “possibility” to go back in a ”place that’s simply in my heart”.
This time I’ll do it by bicycle.
The departure is September the 15th (from Salvador de Bahia). The return is scheduled by the end of October (from Fortaleza).
Yes, I’ll update the blog any time I will have the possibility to do it, depending on time, connections facilities, opportunities … and sea tides (yes, exactly "sea tides", most of the cycling will be indeed directly on the shore !!!!)
Just a few day prior to departure I’ll publish here the blog's link.
It will be a great pleasure to share emotions and be of any help, if possible, during the trip.

Abraços.
Corrado
(Milano-Italy)
