Salvador to Aratu
24/07/08 21:15
After a sumptuous breakfast at Pousada Baluarte I walked down to the Pelourinho and took the Plano Inclinado down to Ciudad Baixa to declare in at Receita General. This formality moves Kiriwina from “laid up” status to “in use”.
Plano Inclinado
Then I got a taxi back to Iate Clube Aratu. Kiriwina was dry and in very good shape apart from 3 months of accumulated dirt on the topsides.

| Posada Palermo was a lovely place to stay and I spent a comfortable two days there. It rained most of the time. The Taxi called at 07:45 and got me to Ezezia airport brfore 8:30. Check-in with GOL took only a few minutes. As boarding time approached it became clear that the flight would would be late. In the event we left some 2 1/2 hours late at 13:30. At least GOL owned the problem and there were staff waiting for my flight at Sao Paolo to issue connecting passengers with new boarding passes and escort us through to the domestic terminal where we were immediately checked in for the flight to Salvador. This left at 18:30 and arrived at Salvador just after 21:00. Pousada Baluarte had arranged a taxi and I arrived there just after 10:30. My room at Pousada Baluarte. |
