Ain't No Rest For The Wicked!! I found myself up at 3am again partly due to the extreme heat and partly due to my obsessive and compulsive thinking mind. I managed to get a little more sleep before getting out of bed at 6:30am and joining Walter & Bruna for breakfast. I started the day with another cup of Brazil's finest coffee before saying goodbye to Walter. I also got to have a really nice chat with Bruna; a first as Bruna has been incredibly busy all week...

The rain was a welcome occurrence as it meant I didn't need to stress about rushing out to visit one of Natals famous outer beaches and instead take it easy and hopefully workout how I can get to the airport tommorow.

As today is my only free day in Recife before leaving tommorow I agreed to come to the afternoon class (6-8pm) so that I could atleast have one morning here to myself. First thing I did was head to the beach for a walk and some sunshine and to catch up on my blog.
