Salvador de Bahia - day 1 & 2

2 days in Salvador de Bahia. Salvador used to be a capital city of Brasil until 1763.

Directly the first day after breakfast we decided to explore the city without internet, offline maps and enough cash 😅 … we ended up in some favela where local told us to get out because it’s super dangerous 😅😅 taxi driver was shaking his head and telling us what the hell were you doing 😂 but all good we drove to the beach and we’re the only white tourists there. It was super fun until we spent our last money on drinks… well it’s easy let’s get some cash and watch sunset in some nice bar before going back to hotel. Well we didn’t know that most of the ATMs don’t accept foreign cards so it took us 1 hour to find one ATM 🤣 luckily we could also purchase in the shopping mall SIM card so now we can’t get lost anymore.

Second day of our stay we decided to join the free walking tour of the old town recommended by the hotel employee. The tour was okay the guide’s English was difficult to understand and the tour took one hour longer then planned… we were super exhausted and just wishing to be over 🙊 in the city center there is a museum of Bahia gastronomy and also restaurant. It’s buffet style restaurant with all the traditional afro Brazilian dishes so we decided to give it a try and paid 75 B$ per person. The food was okay but also nothing special. Afternoon we took easy got some ice cream, cocktails and went to the theater to watch local folklore performance. That was really cool experience and we would recommend it to everyone coming to Salvador de BahiaMeer informatie
