Salvador

 Salvador was the first capital of Brazil. It is in the third largest bay in the world. It's black and mulatto people outnumber the white and the city vibrates with the sounds of Afro/Brazilian music.

The Forts built by the Prtugese are still standing

Our first indication that Salvador is a pretty run down place was our arrival at our hotel!

This is the building next to our hotel !

And this, we were delighted to see was our hotel! 

However the view from our bedroom window was not great!

There people living in this hut!

This was the distant view! 

However Salvador is not all like this.
