Ilheus

5 hours farther south. Unfortunatelly it is raining... came here yesterday, so I'll write something more as soon as something actually happends.

Oh, sth already did happen: the argentine owner of the Pousada we are staying in, actually opened a new room for us, because the whole town was full with congress visitors. So we are now staying in a tiny little room with no windows. But we only pay 3 Euros a night, so we can't really complain, can we?

Yes, it rained through our whole three days in Ilheus. And we obviously were the only young people who did NOT go to the Trivelas-Festival, taking place the same weekend. Five hours of music we didn´t even know the band. We walked past the festival site, so we know for sure that we missed nothing. THIS is the festival site after the festival.
But Ilheus is a really nice city. Tranquil, a nice ice-café. A great place to have espresso and a good place to have fruit salads. Everything a town needs. And not once did we feel threatend in any way.
OK, on sundays it get's a little bit tooooo quiet, if you don't know anybody and the beaches are not an option due to rain...

The town's cathedral:

and it's interior:

Oh, and then we passed this nice school. Please note the writing above the left and right windows: "lado masculino" (male side) and "lado feminio" (female side). Just in case you didn't know behind which window your girlfriend lives.
