Another Robbery
Today Günter had his camera snatched in broad daylight around 14:00 while in the heavily policed Pelourinho in Cidade Alta. Manfred, the other Austrian yachtie said he knows of 8 yachties who have been mugged/robbed in recent weeks.
Salvador is the #2 tourist destination in Brazil after Rio but after a week I'm struggling to see why. The location is quite stunning on cliffs along the shore of Bahia de Todos os Santos and the colonial architecture of the Pelhourinho is attractive but many buildings are badly neglected and it is difficult to relax given the very high risk of assault.
A very large, very fast french built trimaran at Centro Nautico marina.
