Thursday, 23rd November.
Today, we arrived in Salvador, and I went on a guided tour. It was the worst trip I have been on. I didn't enjoy it, and my legs started aching and playing up.
Friday, 24th November.
Today we arrived in Ilheus and I had a trip booked with Rosalea, but because of the poor trips she had been on, she cancelled it and stayed on the ship. Unfortunately for her, it was the best trip I went on, and Tijuipe Waterfalls were brilliant.
